Discussing the philosophy of money. The four rivers of Eden, the Pishon, the Gihon, the Tigris, and the Euphrates, are the life-giving rivers where the four cardinal virtues of humanity—benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom—flow. These four cardinal virtues are not represented by the four views of people but by four creatures: the ox, the human, the lion, and the eagle, symbolizing base desires. Lucifer, who fell from the Seraphim, is also a primal desire. Appearing with the face of a cherubim, Lucifer, referred to as "ox" in Ezekiel 10:14, like the subunit "cow" of 'goods and chattels,' represents the attributes of all material things. The ox is the primal desire that governs the waters of the north. The origin of good and evil is discussed in Genesis 3 of the Bible, which deals with the fall of man. Satan, the serpent, and Eve's external temptation lead Adam to eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil by his own free will. The so-called doctrine of original sin, which views the misuse of moral freedom by angels striving to become like God as passed on to humans, is interpreted as the result. Each individual's self-crime, violating the law and conscience, adds to human sinfulness, plunging humanity into a state of sin. The concept of good and evil in the Bible is a mythological interpretation. The Garden of Eden is a symbol of naturalness where good and evil do not exist. As the number of human individuals increased and hunting skills developed, domestication of wild animals and slaughter for consumption became commonplace upon leaving the Garden of Eden. The accumulation of a primordial sense of sin in the subconscious leads Jewish and Islamic nomadic settlers to erase trauma through a sense of atonement and purification. Agricultural cultures in India and China, centered on the Korean Peninsula, have a relatively low sense of original sin due to their consumption of meat. The concept of good and evil, which changes according to the times, situations, and perspectives, is a concept unique to humans. There is no good or evil in nature, only desires and cravings. Cain becomes the first murderer in human history by killing his brother Abel. In Genesis chapter 4, there is no record of what Cain said to Abel. It is unknown what kind of conversation took place before Abel was killed. Rabbinic sages view sexual desire, the desire for sustenance, and the desire for identity and community as motives for the murder. Sexual desire is merely a debate over racial reproduction that revolves around one woman in this world. The scholars of the first-century Gnosticism considered Abel to be a slave of the material world and the Gnostics of the second century saw Abel as an example of the destruction of the material world by the demons. Cain's desire for sustenance erupted from a territorial dispute stemming from Cain owning real estate and Abel owning land. The desire for identity and community that was ignited during the process of building a temple on his olive grove reflects religious and cultural identity. Descendants of Cain, who pursued violent and secular beauty, are symbols of corruption. Lamech represents strength, Ada represents adornment, and Zillah represents frivolity, symbolizing the accumulation of wealth, conquest, oppression, and pleasure by building up sexuality and making iron weapons and musical instruments.
