Sometimes I contemplate times gone by. I go long periods of time without thinking of the past, and sometimes I dwell there for too long, and come back with a lingering sadness. Sometimes I think about people from the Old Testament and imagine that I would never behave made the decisions that they made. The truth though is that we probably would have. Can you imagine the horrible sadness that Eve had to live with for centuries? I brought on the fall of the human race. It took all the evil of Lucifer to convince Eve, who had never heard a lie, before she was tricked into falling. Adam just went along with the tragic decision he was now a part of. I cannot imagine knowing the world before the fall, and understanding that all the death and sadness after that fall was because of my choice. I wonder things like, what would we be like right now if the fall had never happened? I can’t imagine it. I don’t have the ability to understand because I’m fallen. Sometimes though, I think about the future. Someday we will regain our innocence, and all of our loved ones will be there. Someday Satan will have no power over us, and I hope that on that day we will no longer understand evil. Someday, maybe someday soon, but today we are drowning in evil, and so many are calling evil good. And how many of them are thinking, I would have never made the bad decisions that they made back then….
