"she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat." Fobidden is so attractive that not even Eve was able to contract herself. There are two things that make the forbidden things be attractive; why are they forbidden? What happens if we do it?. It is immediatly that our mind makes a click when we are told that something should not be done, that you are driven to it. Try this, think of everything but do not think about an elefant! What is the first thing that comes up to your mind? An elefant. If I am not wrong it is called reverse psicology. Some psycologists have tried to apply it to patients with the hope that it will have some good results. It doesn't work on all patients but on others it is effective. Drugs for example. About the 90% of the people that try it is because they are attracted to the fact that it is illegal. What effect you it have if the drugs get legalized? Probably less people will be attracted to them and without a adoubt many deaths would be avoided because of the drugdealing (narcotráfico), but the vice could probably not be beatable, that is out of reach. It teh magic of the forbidden. I remember that one of the first phrases that I learned living is Germany was "Das ist forbodden" = "That is forbidden". Germany is way too strict.
The story of Adam and Eve is so familiar to us and it is so many times narrated that ther are many details that we get wrong. For example I had no idea that Eve was the first to eat and then it was Adam. I didn't know either that the women was created out of the rib of the man. No wonder we are in such a "machista" society. As I read I was trying to discover an ethic group in which the women ruled, but failed to find one. "Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife" it is said as if the women was the guilty one for tha whole crime, and that what Adam had done wrong was listening to her. Men have always ruled, it is absolutly unfair. Today, women have taken more control over their lifes, it was about time, after so many discriminations and tortures we had to speak up one way or another. This reminds me of a concept that a very wise friend of mine once told me. She said that the symbol for men was a line, a straight vertical line bacause men used logic, they seeked the beginning and the end of everything, they wanted explanations, and bacause of the shape of their body and their reproductive organ. The symbol of the women was a circle because she didn't have a beginning or an end, she was driven by feeling that had no logical explanation and figured out things through out their feelings, also bacuas eof the shape of their body and their reproductive system. So none of them are wrong and neither of them is better thatn the other, they are acceptable and have the right to be that way, that is why men should no be consider greater than the women.
