Holy shit.

I think I am closer to knowing why the knowledge of good and evil is a burden. Although, I still think it is a blessing.

These massive criminal organizations and mind viruses of statism, Marxism, Gnostic death worship, etc., cause waste so tremendous, so destructive, it is extremely painful to behold. Those of us who are rational and insightful must bear that reality and yet still manage to have the ability, the responsibility, the accuracy, and the self-esteem to work to recreate some approximation of Eden on Earth. All of these goings-on are difficult to behold and to understand, and our own gut reaction, since we have the ability to choose what we do, has consequences. To coordinate all of this through time and space and come out thriving and helping our fellow man (which necessarily mgo together), is a tremendous feat. It is an act of continual improvement, refinement, becoming closer and closer to godliness.

I don't know what to think of it.

Is this what Genesis was referring to?

Yet we have a Way, an easy Way forward: love, nonviolence, unassuming peace. In this we find serenity and can even forget the tyranny and destruction, until we happen to think on it again, whether by choice or by accident. And each time we do run into it, we get to choose nonviolence, and each time we do, we improve ourselves and improve the world. We become stronger, able to handle and confront reality, even its grimmest parts.

Respect for consent and rationality are simple things we can trust. And at the same time they let us forge our own path and be as unique, differentiated, or complex as we wish. These two beautiful complimentary aspects of a sustainable life: the universal Way, and You in particular, combined, perhaps in their very selves, are what life is meant for, are God's true purpose for creation.

Bible thoughts man. It just kinda clicked while I was laying here half-napping, sleep deprived. There's a lot of wisdom in these old books. There's more than meets the eye.
