Speaking of karma, soul contracts and life purpose... [View all]

...Cheney got a heart transplant:

http://news.yahoo.com/us-former-vice-president-dick-cheney-gets-heart-231558926.html

Sometimes I wonder about situations like this. Situations in which a person who has had a myriad of health problems continues on despite the odds. I am not, and I repeat, not, suggesting Cheney didn't "deserve" this transplant, any more than anyone else does or doesn't deserve their organ transplant. But...

What purpose does the life of someone like Dick Cheney serve? I mean that in the spiritual sense, not "Cheney should just die already!" Does anyone here have any insights into what he is here on earth to do?
