Ivory is as impure as anything else. I mean think about it, even the soap brings back memories of when I was younger and reminds me of purer times. How misleading. I didn't know how messed up everything was going to end up when I was taking a bath 13 years ago. It's deceiving, isn't it? Ivory itself is so unbelievably white and it's just not pure. Lining dated piano keys, it looked gorgeous, but very few fingers cared how blood red they could be were the keys not steam cleaned before their application. In defense of these poachers I would like to quote Sean Carter "Can I live?" So when I say, "No, you don't believe i'll be pressing down keys 'til i've worn through the ivory" i'm not so sure I mean that my fingers are going to wear through these piano keys anymore.
"Take this apple, hun. We'll share it." The point is ignorance is not curiosity, it's not the same as scheming, and it is certainly not ignorance when one raises a speculative eyebrow with a hint of malitious intent and says, "I want to know what evil is like. I want to know what it's like to be outside the relm of control." Blame it on Eve if you like. If I were in her shoes, I may have done the same thing. The temptation of something so forbidden is ridiculous. Then again, if I were in God's position, I would have torn her limbs from her body during a thunderous "How dare you disobey He who has made you!" We really do have something in common. Now, I am not in His position or pretend to be, nor do I envy Him. And forget saying that He has all the power in this universe, He is the universe. No matter what, you will always be rotating around Him. Come to think of it, you could be such a non-believer that He becomes more a part of your life than the average aethiest's life. Well, this guy is not an atheist. He is not a believer, not geometry, not evolution, not biology, not time signatures, not spheres, not calculus, not a preacher, not vibrations, not a cross, and I am not love. I am nothing and everything in between all of these things. "Here's God and here's me- forget everything in between." Eve new exactly what she was doing when she took the apple. Adam, like most guys, just didn't think; women are always gonna have that kind of effect on us. I can picture her looking between the tree and Adam while saying to him, apple in hand, "Thus far we have only known good. Would it not be nice to taste this apple?" Essentially, and i'm certain not unwittingly, she had just said "I want to know what evil tastes like." Come on, who can really blame her? You should never be satisfied with what you had, right?
