Fig Leaves

Changing

By Pearl ThomasPublished 5 years ago 3 min read

In the Garden Of Eden, Adam and Eve sinned. Thus, no consequence of their own. They were tricked into eating fruit denied them.

I am reminded to peel away layers of flesh. I do not have anything to hide. The idea coincide with a narrative aforementioned. I’m an innocent person. What is the matter of sin? Consequence? Life and death? A well known prophet called us sinners. I imagine what I learned about him. People talk about him all the time in song. Books. Teachings. Leader. I assumed layers of my flesh. Flesh is being one of main causes of sin. Consciously, I believe what could be occurring at this stage.

As many have narrated, He says we’re not able to live a fulfilling lifestyle. I begin my analogy here within a conscious effort to explain existance. The existance coincides with another mankind belief.

Once, I was a pure child, born into this World. Planet Earth is where I dwell becoming my home. I lived in a city. My dwelling place usual landscape. This is one of cars and houses of many sizes. Bicycles. Children playing.

Maturing into adulthood, I recollect the childhood. I peel layers away. I try to see beneath skin. Therefore, there was a moment when you’d envision me smiling, playing, a candystore or shopping for myself. I continue to peel layers. Humanly possible to notice someone bathe me. Evenso, combed or styled hair atop your head. I could not always do alone. Before I walked, someone feeds food to me. I couldn’t express what I wanted to do...I keep peeling layers. I found out provisions made for me help perform tasks. I begin to act by oneself whilest soap, food, water, clothes and more provided me.

Adulthood is where I learned the most valuable ideaology. Each layer of skin derives more definitions. I am defined by character, dress code, emotion as well as speech. You can see someone mistakes, belief, choices in motives, attitude about life or patterns.

Layers are a main source of judgement. Yes, everything we do or encounter holds a definition. I agree it is sugar and salt. A common coincidence. Without these common ingredients, we’d question our existance. Toxins do effect us. We are not a voice in itself. Well, they say a person starts being weighed down by bad emotions. Stresses were a common weight in the past. The “cares of this world” believers called this problem. How much can I endure? Somehow, people succumb to perils dying inside or out. Trouble is normal because judgement tries to beset you. How much does an individual sin? That depends. For the types of sin, action, likes and dislikes create hardship. You try to get rid of excess baggage and evils (being whatever does not belong) plague you to join them.

Who gets involved in complaining, beriddling, abuses, tirades or evenso hate crimes?

Okay, some of us, do not fall prey to criminal behavior. I peel the layers one after another. But, look! Dismayed I have seen anger, discomfort, pausation, seeking comfort, lose fear becoming numb andevenbesides tears. Yes, we should be good to ourselves. How else can we survive?! This is our own thin line between love and hate. The deeper sin, the more to resolve sin. I thank religion for delving into self to create a better me. I desire knowledge to become better. I believe in something. I believe in myself too. I accept who likes me and detest who doesn’t like me. I rather join the group who shows favor because it realism. This is honest favor. And who do we love? Love is kind. Kind. True. Love. Nurturing. Helpful. Love is potent. No one can escape him/her. Love is natural and Soviet can be demeaning. Except, accept love accepts you good and bad. Love is a medicine everyone needs in a lifetime. I don’t know where I would be without love. Kind words, consoling, shoulder, feelings showed, dreams shared andeven sadness. I am elated to not be the only one who cares.

I am fig leaves in the modern life which layers peeled away- also erased, to see a best image. I am a portrait of discreet, integral deficient religion feeds always. Unlike Adam and Eve, my layers are healed. I am not held accountable for a snake’s action. Beyond forgiveness, I have developed into a matured human being. Wisdom is not far from me! My own tree takes root growing into lifesong.
