The reason bible tells as the banishment from Eden
To me, a simple being
A cat shows the reality why
After the apple human mind became twisted and craving for more
Thinking of what could be instead of just living the life
Given the chance to predict and stress about the future
Fall inside the devil's insanity
Everything it can grant and once it has the hold of you
It can hold you through environment, lures, blood or them all
My cat
Unlike any person, and I tend to think it as a person to me
It has stressed over when I left
It has mourned the nights I was gone
After all these months
Now that I come back for a few weeks
It doesn't want anything more of me
It hasn't changed at all
It still asks for food 2 times a day
It still wants me to pet it 2-4 times/day
And once right before I'm about to fall asleep
It is happy when I solve all the clods in its fur
Ain't asking anything more
Biggest issue for it is "Hey where did your hand disappear? o_o"
Comes sleeping next to me during the nights
Unless it has spent all the day dozing off somewhere
Something we humans lack
We change
We always change somehow
Some survive their whole life with minor changes
I guess I'll just say I'm happy for them
They are the true angels walking on earth
We want more day by day its inside everyone
You may want stuff or then you want more love
Right now it just makes me cry
My cat has been the unchanging thing for all these years
Only thing it wants, is that I'd live with it
And share my food with it, which I won't
Then it steals it by sneezing on it or leaving a pile of hair on it
The forbidden fruit we humans tasted
Was wanting more
And because of that
We march to our own downfall
We only want to proceed further
Never learned to "stop"
Build larger and larger cities
Overfeed
Crave for more wealth in every aspect
Overpopulate
What if earth is Eden, what if we have halfway destroyed it
Maybe someone else in history's books just saw too much coming
I'd wish to share thoughts with that person
But I can't, since s/he's dead and buried millenniums ago
Through all this, my only remaining thoughts are
What is the purpose of this body
Why do I keep on breathing
Why does its heart keep on ticking
Why am I seeing through these eyes
Hearing everything happening around
Why to feel everything that the senses react to
A sack of liquids and chemicals
Yet in its terms, alive
