The Snake in the Garden of Eden

In the judaeo christian tradition, we've also associated the snake with malevolence. This took me like 30 years to figure out, literally, ecause i was thinking about it all the time. There's an idea that the snak in the garden of eden is satan. It's a very weird idea, because it's not in the story. The thing that really can knock you for a loop isn't just the tragedy of life, but the fact that other people, and you too, can manoeuvre things to make them far worse than they are. That's about all i can explain to night.
