The Forbidden Fruit

The ways of the Heart

Strange are the ways of the HEART A Valley of LIGHT and SHADOWS

The closest thing to being the descendent of Adam (A . S) is that every Human being desires the Forbidden Fruit. We are made to believe THROUGH OUR INSTINCT OF DESIRE as well as INFLUENCE of others that our salvation lies in having the FORBIDDEN FRUIT even though there is A HIGHER GUIDANCE and EVIDENCE to the CONTRARY. YET the HEART desires what it desires and the WAYS OF THE HEART CANT BE EXPLAINED.

From the start of time, Humans have always been in pursuit of that forbidden fruit. The forbidden fruit for each of us has always been different. All in all, it is always a desire of Human Heart, Somethings that are difficult to acquire, impossible tasks to unachievable dreams, a love that is unrequited to feeling of emptiness that cant be filled with any worldly possessions, to happiness that always seems coming to the sadness that never departs the heart, humans have been inflicted with this scrooge of unending desire of the heart.

Irrespective of whatever faith you belong to, no one can deny this illness that humans have been struggling to cure for centuries. Whether u believe in the tale of forbidden fruit that our Father, The FIRST HUMAN, desired and ate the forbidden fruit due to the whispers of the devil, one thing is for real, it is the nature of all the sons of Adam to desire something that he does not possess irrespective of what he already has and where he has it. Whether its the highest Heaven or the lowest pit, the desire is impossible to be relinquished, the thirst impossible to be quenched and the hunger impossible to satisfy

From centuries, mankind has tried to cure this plague, to find the answer of this unanswerable question that why and where does this desire comes from and where does it end eventually. From Alexander to Genghis Khan, Aristotle to Max Plank, none is free of this disease of desire. For some it was to become the KING OF KINGS to some it was to FIND THE ANSWERS of how our world works. The forbidden FRUIT has been there near yet so far achievable yet just not enough.

No one has yet found a cure of this plague. Heart has been named the man culprit in the origin of this plague, this disease, this scrooge. Cure is yet to be found.

Strange are the ways of the HEART, a Valley of LIGHT and SHADOWS, both coexisting in the same space yet not intermingling. If it comes to encompass the valleys depths are beyond the finite limits and if it comes to reject, not even an atom can stay in it. Similar in physiology yet, unique in its philosophy, Human heart is marvel, a gift and a curse.

To cure the disease in my opinion is to cure the heart of its desire of inclination to the forbidden fruit. I guess Mankind has to find solace in this fact that forbidden fruit is forbidden, yet if take it for that, what we have today would not have been possible. If man had not desired to fly, planes would not have been possible, if man would not have desired to love, the tales of Romeo and Juliet would not have been possible.

So I find myself lost at words just like all the mankind before me, so I leave this to the reader of it, what is your forbidden fruit, how severe is your affliction and how are you going to cure yourself of it? or are you going to cure it at all! May be you do enjoy desiring the forbidden fruit more than having it in the first, STRANGE ARE THE WAYS OF THE HEART ARENT THEY.
