My least favorite part of abrahamic religions is the concept of Eden. The idea that we were once perfect, and then we fucked it up. It’s a myth that’s so perverted and destructive and plainly opposite of the truth.
We’re not angels falling from heaven.
We’re monkeys building society out of nothing but mud.
It’s pretty astounding, actually. Certainly things aren’t perfect and never will be. But look for the helpers. The people who work to make the world better. Never believe anyone who tells you that everything is getting worse.
