My view (I'm religious): Sin is what's wrong with humanity. It's because of sin that humans are estranged from God and why they are like that and why all the bad things happen.

What I'm saying about us is a secular read of an interpretation of Genesis. I'm *not* religious, but the Torah, and by extension, the old testament is profoundly useful if you know how to use it. It's ancient sociology - shows us how we work, both individually and collectively.
I wasn't raised with it, so I'll only ever get so much out of it compared to someone that studied it since childhood.
But regardless, I am pretty confident in my eschatology (if you want to call it that) which draws largely from the fall of man story in genesis, and an interpretation of what the curse in the exile from the garden is, and how we transcend it in the end. As Noah did in part with his invention of the plow, easing the curse of toil. This is precisely what "God wants" - metaphor here - (although I don't anthropomorphize God in that way, just trying to convey a concept)
I won't go deeper here, because I don't want to start a deep dive on this topic here, especially with someone who is religious (no offense) simply because I don't want to veer into religious territory.
But what I wrote is informed in part by abrahamic scripture.

You said it right and no matter how much we'll try but because of the other factors in our life we tend to come back to the same position of being selfish, short tempered and eager to get everything for ourself. There no way we can escape from this. We never know what other person is thinking of us but we want to show ourself foolish by caring extra about others.

Hi,
This may be an unusual question. I have registered here 17 years ago with the username "agabor", but then I did not actively use the site. I re-registered later, and now I am a more active member, and I would like to get back my original username. I use this username in every programming related website, and it bothers me that I can not use it here because of my own forgetfulness. And as my original registration happened 17 years ago, I do not remember what e-mail address I used, or even if that address still exists. Could this profile be deleted?

Angyalkám! 
It maybe was better to post it on 'Bugs' as in this forum messages are mature fast...
But anyway it better ask the powers... @sean-ewington and @matthew-dennis and maybe @chris-maunder

I know one thing: I'm not up tomorrow!
Let's see if you can get this one, shall we?
Every morning, my attending man discards receptacle to resolve mixed feelings. (10)

I'm ambivalent about this one

Well, you are up tomorrow regardless
Care to explain for the others?

Morning = Am
discards = bin
attending man = valet,
Resolve = anagram indicator
Ambivalent is to have mixed feelings.

Hello!
Welcome aboard.
You can change your username to something more "individual" than "Member 15510360" very easily if you want - and make yourself more recognisable as well.
Just hover the mouse over your username in the top right of the page, and select "My Settings" from the drop down.
Under the "Account" tab, is "Your Display Name" - "Jacqueline" is taken, but there are many other combinations you can try!
Press "Save my Settings" and your new name is yours.

Welcome, and of course we would like to hear more from you, if you wish you can also add some details about yourself to your profile.

Welcome.
I'm not a frequent contributor to this forum, but do so here more than anywhere else.
I've found this to be a (generally)great community of (generally)developers who share a level of intellectualism, wit, respect and humor.
The signal to noise is extremely high.
Feel free to engage and explore and even try to answer a cryptic crossword clue!

Hello back.
Welcome, come in, take a sit, relax and enjoy.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

You probably meant: take a sith
