To Adam Paradise was home. To the good among his descendants

Summary

This quote suggests that Adam, the first man, considered Paradise (referring to the Garden of Eden) as his home. However, the quote also highlights that for the virtuous individuals who follow in Adam's lineage, their true home is paradise itself. This suggests that those who lead good and righteous lives strive to create their own paradise in this world by living in accordance with virtue and morality, ultimately finding a sense of spiritual fulfillment and contentment.

That is why you write and for no other reason that you know of. But what about all the reasons that no one knows?
