If you believe in rebirth you might be reborn as a slug. Why would you anticipate that happily ?

Please can you tell me what the benefits are in speculating about rebirth rather than paying attention to what's happening in this life here and now ?

My understanding and something that has been clearly stated in the Teachings that I have gotten is that if you do the Dharma work in a positive and consistent way you can help to ensure a higher rebirth.
