We are images of Adana, and are responsible for one another, and for taking care of all on earth created by Adana: just as Adana is responsible for everything created. We learned to differentiate between good and evil. Furthermore, we can even create order out of chaos, as Adana did on day one. Furthermore, we not only procreate, but also teach the next generations. (Deuteronomy 6:7). All of these abilities and responsibilities, we inherited when created in the image of Adana. Every person also has a spark of Adana within. We can choose to ignore this, or to embrace this. We have the power of choice. With this great power, comes great responsibility. You see, not only were we given the ability to reason, but also, we have the ability to create a new and different future, because we have the ability to change, both ourselves, and the world.
