Everyone sees his own vision in this apple: is it a symbol of Knowledge, Immortality, or Temptation, or Beauty, or the Fall of man and or Sin or a Choice... A Choice - which gave rise to death.
Each person comes to a fork and decides which path to take. You can't go back, and you have to choose which road to take.
Or the Choice is just an illusion, maybe in fact, here is no choice. Maybe in fact, at a certain moment, we can only act in a certain way?
Are we free to choose freedom or eternal life?
And what about the time? Have you thought about the time ?
Adam and Eve lived in paradise, ate paradise fruits ...
How long did it last? Year? Century? Millennium?
How many times have they passed this tree? Was there initially a desire to try? Did fear hold them back? Obedience? Abundance? Indifference?
Too much innuendo...
