(7,887 posts)133. On 2nd glance. I call Original Sin, Original Spin. The Innate Desire for Knowledge is curative.
What is original sin, "the KNOWLEDGE of Good and Evil" TO KNOW what is Good and what is Evil without really taking anything into consideration, to me is to go around judging things out of context and making things worse.
BETTER is to find the path to healing, the way to mend the wrongs and bring the community into wholeness.
If something happens that is so bad and hurtful that it must be removed, then of course, but to see from many angles, not just the one. THIS is always right. THAT is always wrong. Absolutes like that tend to cause no end of trouble on their own.

Good could not exist without evil. The definition of good would disappear without evil.

Or the original "spin" that boiled life down to talking points instead of taking it as a whole?

I think in simple terms. God created order out of chaos. Chaos still exists.
