winners and losers, lovers and betrayals, our lives...
in the garden of paradise adam and eve were created, amidst flowers and streams, lakes and mountains. without malice they roam around naked and bare, without a piece of clothing, without a house. around them were animals, plants and all the kingdom of goodwill, love and abundance. no worries, no tasks, no jobs and no enemies and no rants...
one day a snake of satan tempted the couple, eat this apple and you will be God, yourselves. you will invent, you will compose, you will create anything as your mind and your hands can make. you will fly to the moon, sail the ocean, conquer the skies, build towering skycrapers and awesome dams. you will stop the ticking of time and make your face forever young...
in your life span there will be ambitions, wishes and wants, ladders to climb and expectations to match. you'll be tested to stay true and be human but created in the likeness of God, you'll govern, you will love. you will interact, you will dance with the times, you will swim with the tides and fight the good fight. you will be tested if you love, you will be punished if you lied as you will be crowned if you last...
