It would have been better to just have knowledge of good things, those things pure and the of God. Far from mindless automations or windup creatures, Adam and Eve lived freely, shamelessly and fully, all in the presence of God. Now we find ourselves more automations of sin and prone to follow after that scent that leads to death, having been with that smell for so long.
We are now shackled by this mortal flesh in a fallen world, even as we long for something we can’t explain, perhaps even unaware of this longing. Yet something whispers to us of who we really are. Somehow we know.
