Let’s talk about Adam and Eve; the parents of all humanity (You may assume that their story is made up, and I totally respect your opinion; however, let us take the moral out of it) They were also the first to feel something powerful, and sincere attaching them to the one and other, like iron and magnet; which is a beautiful thing called “Love”.
However, the world contains so many dualities, such as morning and night, peace and chaos, friends and enemies, happiness and sadness, life and death … the list continuous
Love was born alongside its opposite force (as you may have predicted!) which is “Hate”, the latter representing Satan (you may not believe in Satan either, but don’t you agree with me that we created such a horrible power called “the devil” only because of our bitterness and hatred…) His envy and hatred towards Adam and Eve led him to lure them into eating the forbidden fruit. As a result, they were expelled from the Garden of Eden to Earth (Including Satan). Bravo! The humanity begins, simple, right? No, my friend, the story is much deeper than that.
Why on earth was such a terrible creature as Satan also sent? Is it to achieve balance? Let me straightforwardly rephrase the question: Would a world where there is only peace and happiness, where people truly love one another without hatred, greed, lies, and envy be balanced? To be more specific, would we tolerate such a world as humans? If that's the case, please explain why you're reading this garbage. You have many other options that appear to be more enjoyable than reading these lines; sleeping is quieter, drinking coffee while playing your favorite video game is more interesting (I began to question why I'm writing this book as well), but you chose to grab a book and read, then it comes the big question; WHY? Simply because that’s our nature? We are so complex and greedy to a level where we may use our wealth to create chaos. We simply cannot stop learning and discovering.
Adam and Eve had their utopian world, but they chose to listen to Satan, not because of weakness but simply because they wanted what was better. Satan himself was made of fire (which I think it’s way more beautiful than being made with dust) and he lived in heaven as well, but that was never enough for him.
We are greedy by nature to the point where we can’t change it.

Let’s start our tale
On an exceptionally hot morning in the middle of summer days, early in July, a young man came out of his old-looking trailer, which had never been taken care of since the arrival of an unknown man to the town, the latter’s influence on our little hero was remarkably negative; beside the sobbing and screaming that could be heard every night, the boy could be seen with new scars and bruises marked on his face each day he leaves the trailer, sometimes his white shirt would be soaked with blood and dust. The one couldn’t help but wonder what was happening behind the curtains.
The little boy was seen walking around half-conscious of what was going on around him, but a monstrous scream from behind him that felt like a punch in the face was enough to raise him from the dead; “Do not come back again if you didn't bring the money!". The man’s face could not be seen from behind because of the darkness that covered almost his entire body except his eyes; they were filled with rage and a desire for vengeance, but they also seemed carrying a weight of sadness too; an exceptional one. He eventually threw a bottle of beer that cracked on Johan’s head and closed the door with a power that was enough to awake the whole neighbor.
“Stupid kid!”
“What on earth is the matter with this boy? What a phenomenal madness this is!” screamed one of the neighbors
“Please leave me in peace, and just die in your place!” said another one
“He is right! You will do us a favor” replied the other
The young man was trembling at every step, and every time he managed to get up, he fell back to the ground sobbing and screaming, eventually his face could not be recognized by tears and blood.
The worst part here; is I will be philosophical again, but don’t rush the process, my dear reader, your heart is too small to take this whole sadness at once.
Have you ever asked yourself what is stopping you from murdering your nosy neighbor? Aside from the fact that every life is meaningful, there is something we call 'bargaining,' which simply means 'avoiding killing your annoying neighbor' (how simple is that) by establishing rules such as "I will do... if you agreed to stop doing... so that we can continue to live" (it sounds more like a threat, I'm so bad at giving examples), which is what we used to do for years. It's more like fulfilling each other’s needs so that we can avoid chaos.
Unfortunately, the outcome is not always the same. Well, why is that? We as human beings have a chaotic nature! Nothing will stop us from causing harm to each other even those stupid rules I mentioned. Your neighbor may stop for a while but there is always the possibility of him doing more harm to you in the long run (because he is an evil dude), and you simply may kill him in the future.
“What on earth this dude is talking about?” you may say, but it’s okay I’m sure you want to know what happened to the poor kid that I mentioned earlier, but let us go back 10 years before this incident so that you can understand fully.
