Garden Of Eden

And no, i am not a religious person particularly, my faith is my own and that's all there is too it however, i had a thought this evening about Adam and Eve and what they must have done in that garden all that time ago to have pissed God off so much that he could sit up there in his comfort zone and watch millions suffer constantly for the sins of a few.
The minute Adam and Eve ate of the fruit from the tree of life, we were all damned and have been damned every since, yet still each day we rise from our beds and follow the path of our lives and hope that we make it to the end without too many mishaps or major problems.
We could, of course, not bother, we could just sit and fester and wrap ourselves in cotton wool and not take a single risk or put a foot wrong and maybe, nothing would ever happen to disturb the safe haven we call life, but what value is there in that, sitting in a chair all day afraid to do anything in case something bad befall us.
i think i would prefer to take the risk and enjoy my time on this planet, its not that long after all and there are some really great bits about it if you just find the right buttons to push in the right order, not get to greedy, give a little, take a little and have an honest and true heart.
We reap what we sow or so the saying goes, what goes around, comes around... of course, there will be times when each might wonder what they have done to deserve some incident or another that happens to their lives and i am no different but i can honestly say without fear of contradiction that almost everything that has ever happened to me, good or bad, has always had a beginning and an end and i can look at each one and know that they all had a purpose and if bad, that something good eventually came out of that.
i have sat with my head in my hands and cried over something that has had a major affect on my life and said, as i am sure many of us have "Why me", but as said, i have yet to not see an end result of that "Why me" that hasn't been of some benefit to me.
The selfish acts of a few that place unnecessary risk on many and i refer to this evenings rail disaster in which many have died because of the act of one person who wished to end their own existence really pee's me off, if they value their lives so little that is their choice but to put others in the face of death is unforgivable in my estimation and i can find no justification in that act. i am told that when one gets to the point of suicide you don't think of anyone else or the consequences of your actions and of course you are not going to be around to have to pick up the pieces of devastation that you might have left in your wake. Even if you don't take anyone with you, there is still going to be those close to you left behind and i cannot see how anyone could do that knowingly..to another person... there are those who fight for life, children sick from birth, adults who fight a never ending battle with disease or other physical impairment who would give anything to have a healthy body they could stand up in and yet we see so many throw away the creation of life.
Its never going to be perfect, there will always be the bad bits to contend with, but there are also some good one out there and even if god decided that the world should end tomorrow, i for one can say, hand on heart that what i have had of life so far, has, in the main, been ok, like everyone else, i have had shite times as well as good one, but as someone pointed out in the room this evening, you have to follow your nose .. and look forward. ..Don't keep you head in the past.. you wont get anywhere..and if you can do that, if you can look to the light and brighter side, it isn't such a bad place to be you know..!!!
Apples, who needs them anyway and as for snakes...ekkk...if i saw one i'd run a mile, i certainly wouldn't have a conversation with it and let it convince me to eat the flipping apple and then not take the blame at least.
