It all seems like foresight to me. I mean, what will be the point of someone's existence once they are liberated from their own suffering? Naturally to help others. And so this should be both understood and embraced during the practice, whether it's Theravada or Mahayana. There's only one truth, but as humans that uphold compassion as a universal virtue, we can do much to alleviate the suffering of others in the here-and-now as well as in the future (through the skillful changing of conditions during our lifetimes).
