I do see a correlation in so many ways of itself so in the symbolism of meaning yes it could well be defined as such, would you agree?

The ancestral/original sin seems quite fitting, as does the fall of man from his original state...

Only I would add I wouldn't blame adam and eve alone for that moment in history.

History repeating itself and given the endless/infinite choices we seem to have more so now days, walking more aware and open to life in so many ways of this life, ending repeating history, could well end directly by our own hands I would imagine..:)

Ending through typing or digging the trenches I imagine, but if you can do both it serves you well..hehe

i believe that if people allow others to self define,
many pointless disagreements can be avoided.

rather than saying: "you do this", "you think that",
saying: "i notice this", "i think you've meant that"
would be a respectful way to convey messages,
without defining people in our terms of understanding.
just an idea.

Is this important to your ego or your heart of hearts Horace?

peace and truth are inseparable.
where there is discord, there is illusion.
to achieve clarity, to sense truth, exiting
the battlefield seems like a good first step.

i would enjoy witnessing people discovering
the pointlessness of conflict.
that would be gratifying.
how important is it to me?
what portion of me holds that idea?
i'm unsure; maybe it's all of me.
