-2 Foreword: Icarus Deceptions (2/2)

Still, to be clear, I am, at any means, also not laying my favor to Satan, as he was the first to cause strife in the midst of the heavenly castle and to rebel against the unalienable authority of the highest. It was his pride that caused the primal mayhem, the first sin to ever emerge in the timeline of creation- the very first weakness to arise.

And as for Adam and Eve, I stand firm in my belief, that even if Satan did not tell them to transgress the commandment of God, I think that they would have still sinned either way, because the moment the concept of ”Free Will” came to subsistence, it was then presaged that our fate as striving entities was and is to be congealed not with a rainbow of colors, but either with crimson blood, azure agony, or monochromatic emptiness.

Hypothetically at that time of the fall, Satan was predestined to be there, to brisk the leisure turn of events and to merely spell the progress of this tragic story.

After the fall, the pedestals of transgression were forced to be called outcasts from the eyes of God. The beautiful garden which mas mainly prepared to be their habitation, submerged at the basal part of the sea, was sealed with impeccable divine jurisdiction from the presence of men and was then guarded with four heavenly seraphs, one in each corner, all armed with greatswords engulfed in unquenchable flames, that would obliterate anything that dares to enter the closed ephemeral halcyon without a single spark of failure.

Adam and Eve then continued to live in the outskirts of the garden now with turmoil and hardships. Although they have fallen short in the expectation of the highest, he continued to look at them with compassion and still blessed the land that they were in, so that it will yield its produce in due season.

The word ”Starvation” was still nowhere to be found in the human lexicon, not until the first murder was executed. It was then, that the blood of the wronged was absorbed by the land and it retrograded its produce, so that man might know for the first time, what it means to hunger.

Later, new sins were committed as generations came and go adding more vile words to the human language, of which seven of the most cardinal were pride with Satan as its perpetrator, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath and lastly, the sin of sloth. All seven, the almighty one hates, and not one is acceptable in his sight.

To save humanity from their continuous plunge to this seven sin cardinals, God himself, spearheaded fathomless plans of salvation and sent different pioneers to intervene, by which out of weakness, became strong, subdued kingdoms, became valiant in battle, destroyed enemy fortresses and stopped the mouth of lions.

But with each successful deliverance, there followed a successful myriad of sinful ricochets. It was becoming an amaranth loop of battle and the progress of the story stands too corrected to be moved.

What's the point of re-telling this ancient anecdote? It reminds me of how vague the future of this world had become and how I, hated to be a part... of humanity. Welcome to this life that neither we deserved nor wanted!

You!... Yes you, reading this rather cynical part of modern literature! I did not say these lengthy drivels to sway your opinions and philosophies. I only wished for your perspectives to be not as colorless and bleak as mine.
