On first glance, Ilulissat, Greenland and New York City seem worlds apart. 
I have come to learn, upon further examination, that the assumption is inaccurate.
One commonality is that both places offer non-stop action. New York has 24 hours of lights and hype.
Ilulissat has 24-hours light and calving ice. 
Taxis dominate each locale.
As do throngs of tourists. 
One thing I will have to admit is that the graffiti in Ilulissat can be more direct. 
Cain and Abel were, according to the Old Testament, two sons of Adam and Eve.
Cain is described as a crop farmer and his younger brother, Abel, as a shepherd. Cain was the first human born and Abel was the first human to die. 
Cain committed the first murder by killing his brother. Interpretations of Genesis have typically assumed that the motives were jealousy and anger. 
Jose Saramago offers a different story in his final work, Cain, stating that Cain killed Abel because he couldn’t kill God. 
Saramago’s Cain states: Our god, the creator of heaven and earth, is completely mad.
