Our primal failure is not something we add to ourselves and need to get rid of, even though it feels like an unsurpassable burden. Rather, let's look at it as a defect, a falling short on our part of living up to our nature, a failure to be human in the full sense. I guess that's what all spirituality is built on. The notion that we have failed and are trying to find our way back again. To someone, to something. To ourselves. Some of us just need a bit longer to get there.
