CURSE TO SEE.
“Some are born to enjoy illusions, while others are cursed to see the truth.”Perhaps the curse was never in seeing,
but in knowing that once your eyes are opened,
you cannot close them back into innocence.
The fruit was tasted,
and the veil was lifted.
Suddenly, there was good and evil,
choice and consequence,
freedom and the weight of it.
Perhaps that was the beginning of our independence.
the moment humanity discovered
it could choose beyond the boundaries
it had once simply accepted.
But perhaps mercy was already waiting
on the other side of that knowledge.
Because even with opened eyes,
choice remained.
And that is where Christ enters the story.
not to make us innocent again,
not to erase what we have seen,
but to leave the way home open.
Because grace does not ask us
to become blind again.
It asks us to see,
to understand,
to carry the weight of knowing.
and still choose
to return.
Perhaps that is the greater freedom
not the freedom of never knowing,
but the freedom to choose again
after you know.
