 Once upon a time in the Garden of Eden there lived Adam and Eve in the shadow of an evil serpent, the evil in disguise whose jealousy introduced them to greed. Since our origin we have been breeding greed. As life began the wheel of greed turned to lead to the birth of more and more Homo sapiens day by day, every moment.
