Paraphrased Origen (who with Plotinus of Neoplatonism, was a co-student of Ammonius Sacca).
God—or The One—doesn’t just care about the short time we live on Earth – maybe 60 or 70 years.
The One values our souls forever because The One lives forever.
The One watches over our souls, which never die.
When The One conceived and manifested people, The One made them to be like The One—to last forever and never be destroyed.
So even though our life on Earth is short, our souls have plenty of time to be healed and helped by The One.
The ancient teacher believed that God made human souls to live forever, just like God does.
So God has all the time he needs to take care of us and help us, even if our earthly life seems short.
