    Do you mean instead of looking in direction of type "right" you are instead looking in the direction of type "wrong?"

    You do not escape a dichotomy.

    In the Bible the dichotomy man is faced with in the beginning of his life on earth is not between right and wrong. There was not a tree of good and a tree of evil.

    Both the knowledge of good and evil were on the same tree, the same source called "the tree of the knowledge of good and evil."

    Opposite this choice was the tree of life meaning the eternal divine Person of God Himself.

    The tree of the knowledge of good and evil was actually a source of independence from God. I led to death. The tree of life represented a life ever dependent on the Source of life - God the uncreated and divine eternal life.

    Adam, in the middle with a free will to choose, was cautioned not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. And he was placed before the tree of life, the tree of dependence upon God the source of life.

    "And Jehovah God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden you may eat freely, But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat; for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die." (GEnesis 2:16,17)


    Ie. You have a choice. This is the right choice - not to ever eat the tree of the knowledge of good and evil seeking to be autonomous and independent from your Creator and the source of lives.

    There was this dichotomy before the first created couple, Adam and his wife.

    "And out of the ground Jehovah God caused to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food, as well as the tree of life in the middle of the gatden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil." (Gen. 2:9)

    OnceAdam disobeyed, taking in the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, the forbidden tree, he was united with Satan. He became Satanified. He became joined with God's enemy. And his descendents come born into the word joined also with this enemy of God who in pre-adamic ancient past sought to be independent from his Creator, to usurp Him, become like Him without Him, and overthrow and revolt against God.

    But God had a plan of full salvation. And the rest of the Bible unfolds that marvelous plan to save man from this being joined to the opposition party against God.

    A florescence of verbiage could of course be considered a result of God's generative force.

    To look past flower, root, soil, and water seems more like looking toward the Source.
