Sometimes God seems cruel:
Isn't this the reason we fear to desire in the first place?
Unless we understand our desperate hearts and our tenacity to arrange life as we want it - these events seem cruel
Eden - we had it all but we threw it away by mistrusting God's heart and taking control of what we wanted
Adam and Eve set into motion what we now call addiction
Addiction exists whenever persons are internally compelled to give energy to things that are not their true desires
Addition becomes our idol - we must give it up
Anything can become an idol, even "good" things: work, hobbies, etc
