The word regarding the Garden of Eden is that everything was sweetness and light until Eve ate from the Tree of Knowledge and shared with her companion Adam. at that point he KNEW and voilla, thorns and nettles and weeds sprout.

i have been guilty of selfishness and not hearing all that was said, together with what was implied.

with that i brought in the weeds, nettles and thorns ...

in honesty, this is not a new mistake, but a repetition similar in effect despite differing cause.

i am truly sorry .
