The God Who Overslept
By #Tedatom

The First Mistake

In the beginning, God created men—strong and vigorous, built to fight, to guard their land and families.

He also created women—gentle and tender, made to nurture, to keep the fire of home alive.

To bind the two halves of humankind together, God gave women a touch of frailty, awakening in men the instinct to protect.

When all was done, God grew weary and fell asleep. Before closing His eyes, He thought to Himself:
"Let it run as a trial. Tomorrow I’ll wake up, review, and adjust. After all, I’m God, not a Saint—nothing is perfect on the first try."

But alas! He forgot one thing.
A single night of His slumber stretched into millions of years, while the tiny planet He had molded spun in its brief, fleeting cycles.

And so humankind did not merely evolve, but transformed, divided, even distorted.
Men were no longer only the strong protectors of families and lands.
Women were no longer only the ones who built and nurtured homes.

And God… still hasn’t woken up.

That was the First Mistake.
