“Let’s Make A Deal” with Monty Hall. Just a memory I can recall as being interesting to watch when I was quite young. Recently, a resurrection of this same game show idea had come about; a game with temptation in the starring role. The premise was to offer a possibility in exchange for the sure thing. The choices were usually hidden behind multiple curtains or boxes. People hold a treasure in their hands but they are tempted to give up the treasure for the possibility of a greater treasure.
It’s a curious thing to me when I look at this game show concept. Something almost seems hopeful about it. If I look deeper however, there lies a reality where we are being taught to gamble. My thoughts are taken back to the Garden of Eden. Eve was living in the reality of a treasure for eternity, yet a cunning serpent coerced her into gambling. All she had to do was pick a fruit to eat; the lure was how a greater treasure of knowledge could be hers. We all know the ending to that gamble; she lost and we lost too.
Will it be door number one? Door number two? Door number three? Or will we hold onto our assured treasure?
