Our own conduct will determine where we end up in the Hereafter, not what Adam did.

A great tribute to a legend. Full of wisdom n insight, encompassing life with an economy of words. From Adam to this day, man is fallible. A truth told so beautifully. A super 10.
I only wish I could write like Cohen or Dylan. I try. Thanks as always.
