Chopping Down the Tree of Knowledge

<p>Chopping Down the Tree of Knowledge is a work about failing -  when every road taken should have led to happiness and success. It is a look into who is responsible for those failures and where God fits into them. Furthermore it is an investigation into the very system we use to make every decision in our lives - our belief system.</p><p>What happens when those systems fail us? Why did they fail? How do we change the seemingly negative outcomes even when we do everything according to what we believe to be the right choices? Failing is a part of life but continuing failures and chasing dreams that never come to fruition is not. The answers as to why successes and often happiness seem so elusive is where the journey of this written stream-of- consciousness takes us.</p><p>The author uses personal experiences scriptures and a leap into the shadows within his soul where most won't venture to answer why we fail and what happens when we accept why he - and so many others - followed the correct paths and yet wound up so profoundly lost. It's a personal work that will touch us in a way which prompts us to delve into the depths of our souls and ask if ours and others' failures are because we are truly not the people we should be.</p>
