This story gives manifestation to the struggle we as a people subconsciously, physically, and psychologically go through on our way to our own heaven on earth; success, pleasure, or even just the capacity to have happiness with the loved ones we hold dear, every day is a struggle towards maintaining, or even building towards, that personally cultivated paradise.
But alas, our own lies we believe keep us from the thing we covet so dearly; Hearing self-deprecating chants in our minds sing out how ill-fitted we are for our desires, how deficient we are. How jealousy for our own brothers and sisters poison our intentions to them, and how we interpret what the world gives us as personal attacks, or, worse, don’t realize that even the darkest of experiences can be in our favor.
We even encounter along the way in this hellish landscape evil that wishes us harm, or to even distract us from our goals, if only for a short while. I want this story to showcase what people will endure to chase their ideal existence, what they believe ‘Eden’ to be, and what they will sacrifice, even the actuality of heaven, for the idea of it?
