The Three Phases
The three phases
God came to the idea of creating a perfect world. A world full of beauty in which no evil was found. So He decided to do it and created one, but in three different phases. The first one would consist in the creation of all elements of nature. In the second one, all terrestrial, aquatic and flying animals would be created. And finally, in the last one, human beings would have their appearance. But unfortunately, there was only one condition for this world to continue existing: every single living thing, except for the plants, should only die by natural causes. If someone ever break that rule, the world would end faster than the blink of an eye.
He followed His idea and phase two arrived. And animals were created. They lived for many days in peace, joy and grace. There was no lack of food or shelter, and they all coexisted as a family. You could see the union between species. Until one day, one of the bravest animals that existed, the lion, felt jealous of the frog. He could see this one living inside and outside the water, and he could only live on terrestrial land. So one day, absorted by his jealousness and boredom of only feeling the texture of the ground, he decided to kill the frog, saying that if he could not live in both habitats, no one will.
Not even the phase three could be created. No human being ever existed on that world. Humans suffered the misfortune of the animals. And God realized that He could never have a perfect world in which evilness was not found. And this is how his perfect world came to an end, and got destroyed faster than the blink of an eye.
