So, in the Jewish world everyone is starting again the reading of the Torah. We read about Adam and Eve story. I wanted to write a post with a few words on that portion of the Bible but I am too tired mentally (and physically) to put it together.
But its worth thinking:
Its been a long time now. Has the "curses" that we've had to endure, have these decrees been sweetened any? Have we come a long way?
Well we have Childbirth pains. Thank God, nowadays we have epidurals and operations and other ways to make the actual birth not be so painful.
Mense. Advil.
Toiling by the sweat of one's brows to bring in money. Many are reaping income simply from the interest of their capital. No sweat there!
Hmmmmm....dare I think the unthinkable? lol.

Sorry to be "Debbie Downer" but I don't think we've come that far. Especially since the "sweeteners" you mentioned are not really universal law. But it's not unthinkable to ponder.
Okay okay. Maybe its a dent? lol
LOL . . . eh, okay. A dent. :-)
There's a passage from the Gospel According to Thomas that relates:
"(51) His disciples said to him, "When will the repose of the dead come about, and when will the new world come?"
He said to them, "What you look forward to has already come, but you do not recognize it."
Toil if you choose, but toiling is not a requisite: The "new world [is] come," we have only to embrace it.
Here's my kind but considered suggestion:
Start "receiving," and stop with the asking. Start "having," and stop with the desiring.
In the New World, all have in abundance, and possess what the Father has.
You have not because "you have not:" A conundrum to be sure, but on point.
