The Sting


An unknown dream may turn into a nightmare, but it may turn into an adventure.
What is worse than moving into the unknown dream, is the sure anticipation of the known nightmare.


Taking this world only into account …


The first Adam had the agony of having to choose to act
in an unknown, uncharted world,
with the felt possibility, if he obeyed God,
of experiencing the pain & suffering
of feeling left out of Eve’s & the Snake’s company
 & the “Knowledge of Good & Evil” club…

…He chose not to go through with it.


The second Adam had the agony of having to choose to act
in a known  world,
with the surety, if he obeyed God,
of experiencing the pain & suffering,
of being deserted by his friends & disciples,
being rejected by his nation’s leaders
& the representatives of his God,
who would unjustly try him,
condemn him to death,
hand him over to another nation,
who would mock him,
spit on him,
whip him,
kill him

…He chose to go through with it.


Why?
Because he was stupid?


…There’s more to take into account than 
this world only”.
