   But, upon eating from that Tree that was Not "good for food"   
      
   Adam's outlook changed, and whereas before he was innocently unclothed   
      
   he became diseased , pathological even.   
      
   he took on the characteristics of The Serpent   
      
   only he was afraid , paranoid even.   
      
      
   one stacks these blocks one at a time...
