Eve's choice

I do not intend to dwell much on this, only acknowledge the thought, then duck out quickly, come what may.

I cannot shake the feeling that I am being watched. At times, I feel it more keenly. Like that old natural gas tank that made me so intrspective, until I would smile for the unseen cameras. Then watching TV, made me realize how many times I could be watched each day... for real.

Need to make my point before reverie gets me, that or sleep. I wonder if we really have choices. I dealt with this in college and decided on soft determinism. So what if my choice is known, I do not know it, so it is legitimate.

Ok, so Adam and Eve were married, right? Did they have belly buttons, no, no, no, just kidding. But, rather I was so impressed by how romantic it is that Adam chose to be with Eve instead of refusing to eat of the fruit that he was commanded not to eat. Ya da ya da. Now, Eve's choice. I always romanticized it, too, but she really did not have an option as far as husbands go. It was between be Adam's wife or touch the fruit and die, she chose to die, WHA?!?!? Was that really even a choice? I mean how could it have been if she did not even know anything, yet?

I was sleep deprived and we all know what that does, my thinking was odd. I never made my point, I wondered if the tree of knowledge as I have been taught was actually what it was heraled to be afterall. I mean the reason we think it was is because Satan said it was, and he was a liar and didn't know what was going on anyway. Maybe, nothing happened as far as knowledge, but it was disobedient, and proved that mankind valued togetherness over correctness... there. That was the crux of what I was thinking, not that I believe that cause I don't. But, it is how the movie would go, cause Hollywood likes happy stories, and ignorance is bliss.
