The Original Sin

#domenico tintoretto #the original sin

Hey people who have experience kissing someone romantically I need your advice:

Can you pass food from your mouth into someone else’s while kissing them deeply?

I’m asking because the current installment I’m writing includes the scene where Adam ate from the apple and the way it’s done in this AU is that Eve kissed Adam and passed a piece of the apple she had in her mouth into his and he swallowed.

A child may ask, "What is the world's story about?" And a grown man or woman may wonder, "What way will the world go? How does it end and, while we're at it, what's the story about?" I believe that there is one story in the world, and only one, that has frightened and inspired us. (...) Humans are caught - in their lives, in their thoughts, in their hungers and ambitions, in their avarice and cruelty, and in their kindness and generosity too - in a net of good and evil. I think this is the only story we have and that it occurs on all levels of feeling and intelligence. Virtue and vice were warp and woof of our first consciousness, and they will be the fabric of our last, and this despite any changes we may impose on field and river and mountain, on economy and manners. There is no other story. A man, after he has brushed off the dust and chips of his life, will have left only the hard, clean questions: Was it good or was it evil? Have I done well - or ill?

The First Sin

So one bit of Tolkien's legendarium that most people miss, because it's only talked about in a rather obscure story, and never actually shown, is the thematic connection between Morgoth and Sauron's respective corruptions of humanity.

Sauron greatest "achievement" when he got to Numenor and corrupted the people there, was to get them to abandon Eru, and build an enormous temple dedicated to worshipping Morgoth, where they sacrificed Human beings in real, pagan sacrificial style.

It was in short, the ultimate defilement of the holy Island, far greater and more devastating to the Numenoreans than anything Morgoth did to Beleriand, for it brought the Numenoreans down to Sauron's level of their own free will.

The funny thing is though, Morgoth did the exact same thing. To such a degree that it's safe to assume that Sauron deliberately modelled his corruption of the Numenoreans in their blessed Island paradise, on the corruption of the Human race in their birthplace of Hildórien(this universe version of/inspiration for the Garden of Eden).

Like Sauron, Morgoth sought out the Human race when they were young, back when they were were still blessed by their inborn gifts of Illuvatar, and possessed a capacity/potential for creation that the King of Nargothrond would later describe as greater than the Valar.

And like Sauron, through lies and displays of power, he tricked the early Humans into abandoning Eru's words and teachings, culminating in them building a great temple to Morgoth in the great holy valley, in which either out of fear or genuine belief, every single human being alive at the time passed through at least once.

This all culminated when Humanity in it's folly, finally crossed a line, and on Morgoth's orders, began to sacrifice their fellow men in that great temple of stone they had used their godgiven powers of creation to make.

What followed was the entire Human race being stripped of that godgiven ability, and a lot of their blessings going with it. The true understanding of the "gift of man" aka natural death, that was humanity's great blessing and doom was broken, and ever after Humanity would need to face it with uncertainty and fear.

And where once the Human race was one, hereafter as Morgoth fled back west, the diminished Humankind splintered into many different parts, becoming the ancestors of all the various tribes and ethnicities that would follow.

Many turned away from Morgoth then, but the damage had been done, just as though the faithful survived the fall of Numenor, the entire Human race was now touched by the Original, first Sin, and all their descendants would be diminshed compared to what that original generation of Humankind had the potential to be.
