What does the chicken gain, in crossing the road ?
ANSWER;
Experience, ...in what crossing the road feels like, and, the experience of what the consequence was [or would be], of [actually] crossing the road.
Crossing the road has its share of risks,
but once crossed, you can't go back.
That is correct.
Once we have knowledge of good and evil, there is no chance, of our return to innocence.
Genesis 3:5
For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
".....There is a whole world waiting for you.
Innocence is the most precious thing you possess.
Lose that and you lose your soul."
- Walsingham - Elizabeth
After losing our innocence in our part, in this
fixed game [in this game where we were ALWAYS going to lose our innocence], there is only one 'path back'.
Acknowledge our error [i.e. our vanity], and seek [and accept] the redemption which is being offered.
But, God only wants to redeem wise children. [....is God's desire in that, at fault ? i do not see his fault in that]
Psalms 25:8
Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
10 All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11 For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
12 What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
14 The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.
.
And the fate of the foolish children ?
The foolish are 'currency', to be spent.
No ?
Psalms 110:1
The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

Matthew 13:47
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Luke 3:8
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
9 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Isaiah 55:6
Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
