Gracefully Falling

When the forbidden fruit's juice dripped from the mouths of Adam and Eve, humanity didn't simply fall.

It rose.

Beyond blissful ignorance, beyond what we thought we knew, what we didn't even know we didn't know.

Out of the grips of old gods and scheming prophets, out into the unknown void.

Out of toxic traditions and questionable judgement, out to break free from them all.

We began to understand. Think for ourselves.

Create. Destroy.

Learn. Forget.

Acend. Descend.

Transcend.

We have opened our eyes, but some chose to close them back up.

Out of fear. Hatred. Confusion. Disgust.

We all have a choice: the blessing and curse of knowledge, or peace of mind.

Taking the leap or shying away from the edge.

Have you eaten chosen to eat this fruit, or are you afraid of falling?
