MESSAGE
TO IOO MONKEYS
by
Jian, the crazy monk, SiTU
What
would you choose to eat from. The tree of Life or the tree of Good
and Evil. God forbade us the second, thereby condemning Adam and Eve
to a state of happy infancy. It could be God, himself, that tempted
Eve to commit the first “sin”. But why was the insight between
good and evil forbidden for mankind?
A
second interference happens at Babel, where a unified mankind was
building a tower, aiming at heaven. A rocket? Whatever the tower was,
it was made possible by the fact that humans spoke one language. God
was afraid, that mankind succeeded, and therefore confused the unity
by introducing different languages. The project “Heaven” was
abandonned and mankind dispersed across the planet. The domain of God
was (permanently?) out of reach.
We
may be created according to God's image; ethics, striving for the
stars and (linguistic) unity, are not part of it.
But
what about Satan?
