The garden of Eden story is a wonderful tale. And, in the way of things, I think it might actually be true. Regardless, it is a wonderful tale.
I think G-d and man adds it into the bible, near to the beginning, because it gives us a perspective on life. The command, "don't eat from that tree." I can hear god speaking.
My friend is still holding a mighty grudge against me for having sex with his girlfriend. And I don't really blame him for it, it's what society says he ought to do. But now, when I am feeling his friendship, it shouldn't be that he turns again to this fruit which we like to chew. "Why be aware of nakedness." Why see good and see evil.
I think, behind this door lies enlightenment.
