That's reasonable.
There is "better" fate, a better "creature" inside each and every one of us. Attributes such as weakness (physical and mental), desire ( such as obsessive power/wealth seeking), these are embedded in us, but we can always combat them, thus we are not our desires and attributes, you are not what you look like, we can choose to discriminate against "different beings", but indeed we can also house the sick and adopt cats, despite looking different and still: acting different.
This verse:
(Sura 6 Verse 165 ) And it is He who has made you successors upon the earth and has raised some of you above others in degrees [of rank] that He may try you through what He has given you. Indeed, your Lord is swift in penalty; but indeed, He is Forgiving and Merciful.
It's an illusion after all..a virtual environment for a short period, to judge how we would fair against scum like Satan.
And eventually, you are what you did. You are nothing, but your deeds. Nothing remains but your deeds.
