in chapters 1 through 5 of the KJV, we read of the creation of all that is now the earth, and the rise and fall of mankind. These few chapters I believe are quite crucial when it comes to the story of life. A question that I have found very important is who is really guilty for the fall of mankind. Most would blame Eve, others might blame the serpent, but that whom I think is the one to be held responsible is God. He was the one who created Adam and Eve, and he created them knowing them very well, he knew of the curiosity of man and of his temptation, and thus gave him the temptation for one reason or another. He placed the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the garden of Eden and forbade them to eat from either. Those who blame Eve would say: why did she fall into temptation if she was warned not to? Well in order to answer that question, we must ask ourselves this first: What is the knowledge of good and evil. This knowledge is the one that helps us makes decisions without this knowledge, we cannot tell right from wrong, and thus, we cannot blame Eve for not making the right decision, because she didn't know what the right thing to do was. This is why I believe God is to be blamed, he was not careful enough to think of the possibility of temptation and curiosity falling upon man.

In chapters 4 and 5, the story of Cain and Abel is told. Cain was envious of Abel and killed him, and so God was enraged and bandished Cain to the east of Eden. An important question to ask ourselves her could be, why is envy such a strong sentiment? Why are we so vulnerable to jealousy? Why are we so constantly hurt by it, and thus leading to hurt others? I find myself asking this because I myself have experienced it. I find jealousy to be a small hurt that leads to the wound that is envy. Because while jealousy is no more than a feeling, envy is an action. Envy is when we take our jealousy and and use it against others, in an attempt to be reid of it, and that is just what Cain did.
