I sometimes think that relationships are the single hardest thing we do and maybe the most important.

You're not wrong there. I don't get why we as a species find it sooo hard to really get on together. If we find it so difficult at a personal level, what hope is there at a global level? Maybe humans have an in-built self-destruct mechanism to stop us from totally messing up the planet & other life forms. I really wonder about this sometimes.

We can't get along because we are a flawed, imperfect, and arrogant species. Adam and Eve, of the Bible, had Paradise yet sinned due to arrogance, just like Satan. And what did Adam say, when confronted by the Lord about why he was hiding? "It was her fault!." He couldn't even stand like a man and assume the responsibility for his own decision to follow Eve. Ha! Eve blamed the serpent! And they were created perfect.

Satan knows God exists but rebels anyway. His arrogance leads him to think he will be victorious over God. Arrogance, the original sin, leads me to worry about my own actions way more than anothers actions. I can't think outside my box too much until I get mine in order. Can't even wrap my mind around global.
