Adam & EveThe woman bites the apple first and feeds it to the man. She gets a bad rap for that... She is known as the "temptress" and the "bad guy." The one who commits "original sin." It says in there that God made Eve as Adam's "helper." I'll bet in the original Aramaic or Greek or Hebrew that word is closer to "teacher." Eve introduces grief and loss to mankind. She teaches the man how to feel these things, how to suffer, etc... She makes him become capable of being fully human. He is a child and she helps him to grow up. It seems to me this is really the point of the story. We need to experience grief fully in order to experience love and joy fully. We find all kinds of ways to try and get around this in our society. The fact is a person can't truly grow up until they learn to experience grief and fully feel it, not ignore or deny it... So thanks Eve. Being a child in the garden doesn't sound so great to me. Being a man in this world sometimes sucks pretty bad, but overall it is beautiful and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Monday, October 5th 2009 |
