After Adam eats from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil Genesis says:
17 To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat of it,’
“Cursed is the ground because of you;
through painful toil you will eat of it
all the days of your life.18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you,
and you will eat the plants of the field.19 By the sweat of your brow
you will eat your food
until you return to the ground,
since from it you were taken;
for dust you are
and to dust you will return.” Genesis 3:17-19
It is also obvious that teeth lost their strength by eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Not only will you toil for your food, that food will make your mouth ache.
On Friday I chipped a tooth on some crunchy chips while waiting for the bus; today I went to the dentist hoping to solve the problem. After a prolonged drilling session, the dentist pronounced a root canal would be necessary. Now my temporary filing–which I will call Steve–feels oddly like kitty litter and my tooth hurts, so much so it feels like other teeth hurt, just to sympathize with their brethren. Tooth pain has to be the origin of swear words…or maybe war, it’s a toss up.
Other than this tooth pain, my first ever ingrown toenail, replacing the alternator in the Va-Car, and getting a flat tire riding my bike to school things are going well. Fear not, things will get better and I will be able to remember those things once my tooth stops aching!
