Chapter 4 original sin of eating

The original sin of mankind is related to eating.Because of greed, Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit and were expelled from the Garden of Eden by God.It is said that there were originally two kinds of forbidden fruit, one is the wisdom fruit and the other is the life fruit.Adam and his wife ate the wisdom fruit and suddenly became wise - and ashamed of their nakedness, they picked the leaves to cover their private parts.This instead exposed their theft.God noticed their changes right away—how did they put on clothes?They will no longer have the opportunity to continue to eat the fruit of life.Otherwise, you can live forever.

In any case, wisdom fruit improves the IQ of human beings, so that gentlemen and ladies may appear.This is a fruit that changed our destiny.As for the fruit of life that Adam and Eve did not eat, in my imagination, it is a bit like the flat peach of the Queen Mother-only Monkey King in the movie has such a good taste.Sun Wukong is a step further than Adam and more manly. How does the forbidden fruit of heaven compare with the apples and pears of the earth?It's a pity that no one else can make this comparison.I think the forbidden fruit is like a forbidden book, which doubles people's curiosity and possessiveness.The Chinese dare to "eat puffer fish with all their might", could it be that they also inherited the courage of Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden fruit in spite of the world?Everything is as beautiful as it is dangerous.

Everything is caused by the forbidden fruit. The first record of human beings in the Bible was actually caused by their gluttony—no wonder there were so many gourmets later.Of course, it can also be said that it is the forbidden fruit that awakens people's desires.It's all about desire. I'm not superstitious about the forbidden fruit, and I don't regret losing the Garden of Eden.The forbidden fruit of heaven has only a little medicinal value, and it is not necessarily more delicious than the lychee that Yang Guifei likes.Compared with Eve, Concubine Yang's taste should be more picky.Su Dongpo was once exiled to the wild South China Sea by the emperor of the Song Dynasty, but he was not as depressed as Adam in Paradise Lost, because there are the freshest fruits (definitely green food): "Eat three hundred lychees a day, and do Lingnan as long as you can. People." No wonder Qi Baishi later regarded lychee as the king of fruits, it is not inferior to the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden.

It's a pity that Adam and Eve could never achieve such a realization.They live in penitence.Especially because it was Eve who listened to the temptation of the snake and picked the forbidden fruit first, the woman's sense of guilt seems to be deeper. In ancient Chinese folklore, there is also its own Eve.That is Chang'e, the wife of the sun-shooting hero Houyi.What Chang'e ate was not the forbidden fruit, but the medicine of immortality (which has the same effect as the fruit of life) given to Houyi by the Queen Mother of the West, so she eloped to the desolate moon and became a lonely fairy.Chang'e's ending is generally regarded as tragic.Li Shangyin of the Tang Dynasty had a poem: "Chang'e should regret stealing the elixir, and the blue sea and the blue sky will be heartbroken every night." It can be seen that she also regretted it like Eve, and she washed her face with tears.It should be said that she was even more miserable than Eve: not only lost Paradise, but also lost her own Adam at the same time-it's a pity that Hou Yi, who shot the sun, could not shoot the moon.Now, Chang'e should also become an old woman, right?

No matter in the West or the East, the original sin of women in the legend is actually related to eating, and it is all related to the difference of one thought.It seems that women should pay attention to their snacks.Be aware of taboos.Restraint is needed to resist temptation—and even the trouble it brings...   Fortunately, these statements of mine are just wild interpretations.Otherwise feminists will protest. One thing seems to be certain: women love snacks more than men, and pay more attention to the mood of eating-preferably candlelight dinners every day or something. What will the woman do if the forbidden fruit appears in front of her again?

Of course, modern society also has "forbidden fruit" - for men too.That is an endangered animal protected by law.Such as bear paws, tiger bones, pangolins or owls.It's better not to eat.Do not hasten their demise—otherwise human beings will never be able to wash away the crimes they have committed against nature.I always express my repentance to those extinct wild animals with the mood of atonement... This is another original sin of mankind. Our awareness of environmental protection should first start from the daily dining table.Knives and forks must be legal and must be responsible.

If we continue to steal the "forbidden fruit", one day God will drive us out of this earth.Can we really spend the rest of our lives on the moon like Chang'e?
