Click hereThe snake is the opposite of the ladder
The snake is one thing and the ladder is a different thing
The snake is wrong; the ladder is right
The snake is shame and the ladder is pride
The snake is forbidden and the ladder is approved
Bad snake, good ladder
Fascinating snake, ladder without attraction
Feed a snake, starve a ladder
Deny the snake, espouse the ladder
Make the snake a secret, publish the ladder
Search for the snake, privately
Discuss the ladder with others
Be preoccupied with the snake
lose interest in the ladder
Until we find and eat the snake,
night after delicious night
and are afraid to face the ladder
in our shame,
and we will never fucking figure out
that snake and ladder are the same.

This sounds very Zen! Oh, and of course also Freudian ...
did I mention Carl Jung? Oh my god, I get a head ache. I must be careful though not to walk under a ladder ...
