My purpose is not to destroy but to save you, since I regard you as My son. You are filled with an uncontrollable desire for the thing that is forbidden. In this way you can see how Adam's fall typifies what happens to all of us. Because he was told not to eat from a particular tree, he felt irresistibly attracted to the one thing that was forbidden him. But if you still feel uncertainty, doubting whether He really cares about providing for you, think of the spider and compare it with a human being.
Nothing is more weak and powerless than a spider.
It has no possessions, makes no journeys overseas, does not engage in litigation, does not grow angry, and amasses no savings. Its life is marked by complete gentleness, self-restraint and extreme stillness. The spider is far more silent than Pythagoras, whom the ancient Greeks admired more than any other philosopher because of the control that he exercised over his tongue. He abstained altogether from wine and drank only water.
