Top Ten Lessons From ‘Eden’ On How ‘Paradise’ Can Be Lost

[1] Creation

When trying to create a ‘paradise’ with others,
self-centred clashes might arise,
but a ‘paradise’ for oneself (or a few) only
is no true ‘paradise’ at all.

[2] Repetition

If you are not resetting all for the better,
you are just repeating or worsening them,
partly or totally.

[3] Defilement

If you do not purge yourself
of your defilements first,
you might further defile already impure places.

[4] Revelation

Does war reveal the worst,
best or truest of humanity?
What about peace?

[5] Consideration

Since to not take any particular side actively
is also to take a particular side passively,
do consider, speak and act carefully.

[6] Weaponisation

Is it really safer
to have a weapon for (self)-protection,
when it can be used for (self)-destruction too?

[7] Demonisation

People bring their personal demons
to wherever they go (i.e. non-Pure Lands),
even neutral places without people or with few.

[8] Production

Those incapable of diligently producing
the valuable for themselves
might ‘diligently’ steal it from others.

[9] D/evolution

Are humans really ‘well’-evolved,
if they can easily devolve to be beastly,
from being civilised become savage?

[10] Ruination

The efforts you waste
trying to ruin others
are already ruining you.
