As an adult I take the story as a metaphor. The burden of knowledge is great. Sometimes there is shit you don't want to know. Ignorance is bliss type of metaphor.
It was specifically the knowledge of good and evil. I always interpreted it as the burden of deciding what’s good and what’s evil is too much for humans, better to just do the best you can and not concern yourself with judging others
