the story of the debt repayment plan

By violating their rules of mortgage, Adam and Eve went into deep and unpayable debt. Thrown out of their home, neither they nor their landlord were happy. The landlord worked out a debt payment plan. It was a little peculiar, but not entirely unheard of. He said I will become homeless too, suffer as you suffer, and then get killed. Not to worry, I will die but I will not die. What is our part in this? asked Adam and Eve's descendants who had inherited the massive debt. Believe that I did this and all is forgiven, slate wiped clean, said the landlord. That's all? they asked. Well, you might try to be loving to everybody, said the landlord.

  2. Hi, Rich. Yes. That is what makes all mythos so fascinating (fastening our attention). Unlike dry fact, our heads can't wrap around it.
