PARADISE LOST

Before the fall,
the relationship between Adam and Eve was harmonious.
In the Garden of Eden,
they were always together without separation,
hand in hand, whether work, praise, or rest.
They were innocent, perfect, good, reasonably and pure.
They enjoyed true love.
Everything there was simple, including mature help.
But their relationship, authority and subjection, was not equal.
Eve showed her reluctant and yields with coy submission to Adam.
She proposed that divide their labors,
Adam resisted the prospect of separation,
but relents under ongoing pressure from Eve.
Satan’s praise, flattery, lying personal experience,
successfully seduced Eve to eat the fruit,
which being prohibited by God.

All was lost.
Perfection transformed into imperfection, good into evil.
The Eden was destructed, mistrust, suspicion, shame was flooded.
Their love became carnal desire where they couldn’t get rest from.
They were no longer being hand in hand and no separation.
God gave Adam and Eve punishment, respectively,
to earn bread by sweat, and to bear delivery pain.
Their harmonious situation changed.
Adam blamed Eve for eating the fruit against prohibition,
and she blamed him for not being firm and fix.

The parents of humanity were expelled form Garden of Eden,
Beside, they should make a living by themselves,
moreover they had to by way of death and firm belief to obtain redeems.
