The original sin-the fundamental error The Diogenus Way

The story may be symbolic, but it says about the fundamental error human beings make – to separate things, people and events by labeling them either as good or bad. The original sin inspired by the serpent is the entry of human mind and its perceptions – which are not based on truth but on personal interpretations based on personal beliefs, prejudices and preferences.

Mind well it is to drop judging, stop giving your colored opinion about things and incidences and people, not to stop knowledge of the outer world. Remember the name of the tree of which Adam and Eve ate the fruit. It is not the tree of knowledge, it is the tree of knowledge of good and bad.

You never know what turn your life will take, there may be fleeting experiences of comfort and discomfort but you will never know what is good for you and bad for you. This is a limitation of being human, and also the freedom of being a human, if you use it to your favor by not getting in the game of judgments.

 
Life doesn't turn out the way you want it,
Nor does it turn out the way you don’t want it,
Life turns out the way just as it does.
 
- Anonymous quotation
