Third big question! Probably we are not meant to understand that in this life!
I never wondered really why the fall of the angels- more the one of Lucifer. The rest is clear. But the fact that the serpent was able to seduce Adam and Eve- actually Eve and Adam,…well, that ‘s a big one, no matter what. You leave the choice to a 5 years old child? or 7? as our nowadays cultural and educational institution in the so called modern world, want to do? Introducing sex ‘’so called lessons’’ to children from 7–9 years old? Hm, what a comparison right? So — i do grasp your point of view. All the best logic there, nothings to argue on that. My simple human mind, still, is looking for more understanding. And probably we are not meant to understand that in this life!

Nature’s Neglect
In this blueish light of the evening, where everything fades into mindless oblivion, the day concludes to an end with a shine of a pale moon light, and it brings a sense of closure and calmness mankind can't describe. It's the type of calmness with an underscore of disappointment, knowing that one day of your life has passed, despite the many yet to come. We brace the sleep and the cradle of our pillows against our strained neck, but yet some yield a heavy heart, so heavy it weighs down the priority of sleep. It's in these evenings, that I find comfort and closure, where all problems cease to exist. As I step out to my balcony, my bare feet reaching for the familiar sense of the cool tiles, a strong wind envelops around me and intertwines itself all throughout my clothing. It feels magical, healing almost, like a wash by nature, like a bath without actually getting wet. The cool evening wind lapses around my arms and legs, hitting my face like a splash of cold water, washing away the day's grime and happenings, refreshing me with a clean slate. It feels absolutely amazing, a feeling that has to be experienced, indescribable through words. So go relish yourself in nature's bath, feel, experience it, desire it. But note to do it at the end of the day, where your muscles and mind are laden by the day's events, where all you might need, is natures cool, dry, bath.

Mentally Ill?. Content Warning.
Mental Illness has such a dark stigma attached to it. As if struggling to do daily tasks, because we are busy trying our best to regulate our bodies and minds, wasn’t bad enough we also carry the judgment of the world on our shoulders. The judgment from the world around us sometimes feels heavier than the actually mental illness itself. The way someone with a mental disability or illness is treated makes the problem feel like it can never be fixed. Like no matter how hard we try to understand ourselves and others, or how much help we get it’s never good enough. No matter how far inward we go or how much we learn we are just expected to medicate ourselves to be numb to what’s going on around us. We try to speak on a real issues and all others hear is our mental illness talking instead of an actual human being with something real to say. It would be too easy to simply consider someone else’s feelings but not for people who aren’t willing to do the same inner work. They see a mental illness as something that can never be cured but don’t realize it takes all parties to actually balance out the real root of the problem.
