Chapter 9

Mr. Tangen I was able to read up to the end of chapter 9, I will keep on reading but I don't want to do the blog too late!!

The common known story about Adam and Eve, the only difference, viewed from a very different point of view. As we all know the story, Adam and Eve were the first humans in the face of the earth, God provided them with paradise but forbirded only one thing; to eat a fruit form the Forbidden Tree, where the snake of the evil lead. Adam ate from it and since then all human kind has been condemn to have a sin. This is the stroy we know from our parents, teachers, society. But Quinn shows the other side. Adam and Eve were not the first humans, and the story has originally from the Leavers, not from the Takers therefore we "the Takers" don't understand quite all of it. Quinn has based many of his analogies with religion. He states that the gods should be the ones ruling and that Adam took that form them when he ate from the tree. I am not religious at all, I don't believe in the religion, not the church, not the bible. I belive in the potential that we carry within ourselfs, Quinn disagrees with my way of thought, he criticises human kind. I am not happy either with the way humanity turned out to be. But I am not sure if Quinn's way of looking a it is the adaquate. He contradicts himself constantly.

The concept of the "leavers" I am not confortable with it. If the Leavers and the Takers are both humans then how come the Leavers are better, have a higher potential in understanding how to live, how to manage things, if they are both part of one species. humanity cannot be diveded in 2 bands so easily, that's not the way it is. Humans are much more than the selfish, stupid and egocentric figure Quinn represents them as. to make the idea easier to understand QUinn should stablish somethings; did humans came from evolution or from Adam and Eve? What if there is another possibility? Why should the gods be the ones to decide everything? Why are humans judeged with one law or one conclusion when we are such a complex figure? Why can't Quinn give the possibility for humans to be the answer to save the world? What about The Secret? Quinn's conclusions are not based on any scientific explanation but bluf, could it be?

Some doubts to analyse.
