Following the repackaging of the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden: creativity by the Serpent (Gen 3v1:6). I found out that Eve may be blameless after all Proverbs 4:7 advised that "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom". Eve "saw that the tree [was] good for food, and that it [was] pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make [one] wise". We could argue that Adam would have seen the same light if he saw the repackaged brand by Serpent.
Satan is relentless and very patient enough to commit to tempting man everyday till he gets a sinful result. He works on our desires and repackages them at every given opportunity. A popular example of his creative brands are the three temptations of Jesus Christ. Jesus had to rebuke Satan" after three consecutive sinful packagings. Jesus said "get thee behind me Satan; more like Satan was in Jesus' face, working on Jesus' desire to eat having fasted forty days and forty nights. Note: The Bible said and I paraphrase, Satan went for a while...more like he took a break and carried out product analyses, and revised his marketing skills. This makes it apparent the role of Satan with regards to our desires.
James 1v14-15 says "Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away. These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death. This MAY be what God meant in the beginning that when the fruit is eaten death is the result. The sin of Man was the disobedience to God. Even though Man was designed to naturally have desires especially for wisdom, this may however, be a weakness of Man if the wrong things are desired.
Since Satan was there when God called the Angel contractors, Project managers, Analysts, Permanent and Temporary Angels (as it turned out to be when some plotted against man), he never gave up studying Adam and Eve to know their weakness. He has then known that once he can get man to show interest and desire his earthly product, there is the high tendency that Man would be tempted to carry out sinful actions. The actions if not in accordance to God's commandments is Sin, thus, death!

Therefore, watch out for what you desire because it may lead to sinful actions and if ALLOWED to grow it WILL lead to death! So, kill the desire before it kills you! James 4:7 comfirms that "Resist the devil, and he will flee from you". The light here is that; the growth of our sinful desires is the killer of our soul. (Proverbs 6:32). Resisting the devil is a daily commitment to God until the battle is won!
