About This Quote

The Serpent was known to be a symbol of pain in the Garden of Eden. He caused Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden fruit and brought them to the Biblical Fall of Man, which was also called the “Fall of Man.” He is often depicted as having a long body, squirming and writhing in pain, and with eyes that can shoot fire. Some people believe that we all have this pain within us, but we choose to ignore it or not face it. We avoid looking at our pain and seek happiness by running from it.
