The blue pill was ignorant bliss. Is ignorant bliss better than knowledge that sometimes comes with suffering and misery? Also, wouldn't that have made the serpent the good guy by showing them the choice between the red pill and the blue pill? less

If a single being created humans then it would have to know that telling someone not to do something without really explaining why they shouldn't do it really makes them want to try it.

I like the plot and setting so much (and i tell you so) that I decide to rewrite the story, retaining the setting and the plot but slightly modifying the characters. In a nutshell, my version is your story played out with somewhat different characters. I send you my version for your approval. I have no intention of publishing that story as my own, and you know it. My only aim was to try my own writing skill and hope to receive your comment.You do not agree with certain attributes I have assigned to my characters, for they do not fit in with your own vision of them and their background, of which you have not given any clue in your story. You try to persuade me that my characters are flawed as they do not meet with your ideas about them, and do not fit in the cultural setting you have in mind.

If a movie were ever made of it, I know I would compare the he** out of the movie to the superlative book.I, for years, did the same thing to Kubrick's "The Shining." Whenever I stop comparing it to the book, I can see it is a great film. (But the made-for-TV mini-series of "The Shining" is, to me, a better film and more faithful to the novel. Woops! There I go again!)
