“The message of original sin is unequivocal. Because of our basically flawed nature, we do not deserve to be happy, loved by others, at ease with life. We are outcasts, and if we are to re-enter the garden we must redeem our sinful selves. We must overcome our flaws by controlling our bodies, controlling our emotion, controlling our natural surroundings, controlling other people. And we must strive tirelessly-working, acquiring, consuming, achieving, e-mailing, over-committing and rushing- in a never ending quest to prove ourselves”
