All For One, One For All

I'm a firm believer that one person can mess it up for everyone. Read Genesis 3:1-24 for a good example. Adam and Eve were given dominion over the Garden Of Eden. They could eat of any tree except the forbidden fruit. God gave them STRICT instructions on what they could/could not enjoy and like many of us (myself included), they did the opposite. Adam & Eve's disobedience cost us a peaceful life. If Adam & Eve obeyed God, we would be living good right now. There wouldn't be disabilities, poverty, sickness & disease, unemployment, crime, etc. The Fall Of Man is a perfect example that one's decision affects everyone. Everyone likes to say "It's none of your business what I do" and that maybe true to a degree, but like it or not, everyone's decision(s) affects someone else, whether they like it or not. My mom used to tell me when I was younger when I would get upset because I couldn't get what I wanted. She said "It's not all about you". I can remember being in school and every time one kid messed up, the whole class suffered. At the time I didn't understand why but as I got older, I learned early on that when one kid does wrong, everyone gets punished based on that kid's transgression. I still think this way for the most part except for minor exceptions. It's not fair, but it's life. Maybe some people will think twice before they do crazy things. The business world works the same way: If an employee repeatedly violates HR, either HR will bring the hammer down or the supervisor makes a policy holding ALL his/her staff responsible for the action(s) of one or a few. This is to deter future offenses. Everything you say & do, affects someone else whether you like it or not.
