Temptation in the Garden of Eden

In Genesis chapters 1-3, God has created the world. Within these three chapters, seemingly two different creations story are presented--the world created in seven days, and the story revolving around the creation of man (Adam and Eve). The Garden of Eden is the purest, most perfect place. God has given this place for Adam and Eve to do whatever they so choose. However, the one limitation they are given is to not eat fruit from the tree planted in the middle of the garden. While this seems like no troublesome task, temptation in the form of a serpent seeks to break the pureness Adam and Eve have been blessed with. While it may seem foolish to do the one thing they are asked not to do, it is only plausible because of our human nature. 

We all know that one instance when someone has told us not to do something, which only made us want to do it more. In terms of my origins, all my ancestors as well as everyone else's have come face to face with temptation and have not only stared into its eyes, but caved under the pressure. This truly represents the temptation, in whatever form, seen in our lives and how we have broken under its weight.
