Adam and Eve. And their irresponsibility.

My youngest son Alex was 15 years old. He is intelligent, erudite, with a good vocabulary reserve. His speech was created in such a way that our Belarusian parliamentarians can envy. But there is another quality that I, like his mother, would like to instill in him. It is the ability to take responsibility for one's words and deeds.
Ironically, the Bible helped me. Verily, look to the root!

The first to refuse to take responsibility were Adam and Eve. And it happened in the Garden of Eden.

Adam and Eve lived in Heaven and saw, as usual, with God Himself. God visited his beloved children and talked with them. But one day he came and found that Adam and Eve were hiding from him. God immediately understood what was happening. Previously, His children were surrounded by clothing of light, and then suddenly found that they were naked. In general, they felt ashamed to walk naked.

And God asked Adam: "Why did you eat the fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil? In the end, I forbade eating its fruits? "
Adam immediately answered the question with the question: "Why me? Eve gave me this apple! You created it! I did not ask you to do this. "

Then God asked Eve the same question. Eve said: "Why me? It's all the Serpent! Why did you let all the snakes climb here! "

That's how the first people gave up responsibility!

My son was surprised at this unusual explanation. He laughed. And again, we did not return to the question of responsibility.
If suddenly an irresponsible virus crawled to my son, I said to him: "Yes, everything is as in Heaven!"
