Something worse than the fall of man (losing paradise) = getting used to it

• Been there, done that
• Life sucks, then you die
• How is it going? "Same old thing"

How has life turned out differently from the way you though it would?

• Friendship
• Marriage
• Children
• Holidays

What if we were told that the future would be the same as today? It is hell

We have not solved the riddle of our existence
Everyone else seems to be getting on with things. What is wrong with me?

It is possible to run away from the desire for years but we are desire - essence of the human soul

Our desire, if we listen, will save us from committing soul-suicide
Same old thing would not be enough
Life as usual us not the life we truly want
It is not the life we were made for

"All good things come to an end" is a lie

We abandon the most important journey of our lives when we abandon desire

Whatever we might gain, it is not worth it - Matthew 16:26

Key Phrase: Something worse than the fall of man is getting used to the fall
