This is not Eden

I'm reading Captivating by John and Stasi Eldredge and have loved it so far! I've been reading it slowly in order to let it sink in. I just finished reading chapter four, titled "Wounded". The quote below stuck out to me...

You cannot be alive very long without being wounded. The sun rises, the stars follow their courses, the waves roll in crashing against the rocks, and we are wounded. Broken hearts cannot be avoided in this beautiful yet dangerous world we live in. This is not Eden. Not even close. We are not living in the world our souls were made for. Something's rotten in the state of Denmark and in our own backyards as we journey through the unknown terrain of the moments and months that make up our lives.
