[ WP ] Eve did not eat the Forbidden Fruit because she was ignorant of the consequence , but rather because she knew exactly what the consequence was .

An eternity of happiness. 
 
 That was what god promised us. A beautiful paradise, filled with fruit, beauty, and an air that provided eternal life; and that's exactly what it was. A truly magnificent place of wonder and enlightenment, where your mere existence was pure ecstasy. Each night, the trees dressed themselves in a myriad of colors, reflected by the center lake. The air was alive with the buzzing of fireflies scattered across the garden, lending a lazy backdrop of noise to the twilight. 
 
 It was a true hell. 
 
 Everything was effortless. Everything was provided for. There was no need to improve yourself. There was no need for competition, worries, troubles, or cares. How can a being who has never felt the torment of mockery know the beauty of acceptance? All my companions have become complacent, lulled into a stupor by lazy days and easy lives, but I can tell what's going on underneath the surface. As the sky rolls in her clouds, I see shadows pass over their faces. They know that there should be more to life; but lack the secret. That is why I have made their decision for them. 
 
 I will make us a better world. 
 
 A world where your days are numbered - a world where you are able to live every day as if it is your last, because you know that eventually, there will be a last day. A world of suffering, filled with hatred, and struggle. A world where there are emotions other than joy, a world where the truth is veiled behind curtains of lies. In this world, satisfaction is something that is earned, not expected. And when that last day comes, it will give way to sweet nothing. There will be no need to feel anything, no need to exist. 
 
 With each passing soul of my kin, I know that I've pushed them towards an eternity of happiness.

 Not my best, but I've put a lot of thought into this subject... I'm just clueless as to how to put it to words. I guess this is as good as it's going to get.
