What Made Them All Fall Down. (Class Prompt)

Very abstract. What made them all fall down? and were they ever up in the first place? and to get back, how steep is the climb? Well if one were to refer to the New Testament then you could say the fall began when Eve ate the forbidden fruit and learned "the knowledge of good and evil". Or was the real fall when humpty dumpty was slick with crisco and made the fatal mistake to perch on a high wall? Is this prompt a forshadowing of a great fall of man into the clutches of the computer? The concern of man being outdone and even programmed by the computer is becoming more and more real everyday. Is it the fall of our attension from watching ourselves closely to losing ourselves in petty things?? Where are the steel boots that can trudge up the montains fallen off of? Dicks Sporting goods does not carry them. And whose will is strong enough to conquer these montains that span so far ahead of our sight. Surely climbing Everest will take less perserverance. The fall is great, and we have become small. Where can one find force that will fling us out of these problems, this growing conflict? If you were to ask me I wouldn't be able to say much, and I certainly can't make the climb for you. Your legs will grow weary, and your heart will ache for comfort. As you acsend the montains, your company will grow scarce and the path will stray into jagged rocks. You may reach their peaks, or you may fall off and break. Many times your mind will convince you that you have been rollin back down. It is even possible that the top of the montains are as barren and empty as the dark valleys below. I cannot tell you because I am still climbing, If I spot you below me I will throw down a rope, extend a hand, and point out the known path to the summit. This climb is yours alone, mine alone, yet it is shared between all of us.You must do all you can crying out "lord have mercy!!"

  1. You bring up the good point of when did the fall begin? I believe, as do you that the fall began when Eve ate the forbidden fruit, or the fall of Humpty Dumpty. But with the fall of Mr. Dumpty brought the theoretical idea of breakfast for the people? And yes, in your words, "lord have mercy!!"
