Whether a person believes in reincarnation or not, we all come into this world as a Soul. One could argue that Spirit is something which has to be acquired. The Soul is given free will in regards to how it chooses to ascend. This poem by Rumi sums up how I feel about it:
When you see the face of anger
look behind it
and you will see the face of pride.
Bring anger and pride
under your feet, turn them into a ladder
and climb higher.
There is no peace until you become
their master.
Let go of anger, it may taste sweet
but it kills.
Don't become its victim
you need humility to climb to freedom.
