Ignorance is not bliss...neither knowledge is all pain...But, what you do with the knowledge is what makes your life significant...
Both accepted their punishment together...that was knowledge, that was truth and that was love

Indrani, I differ in reading Adam and Eve's intentions. Their actions were defined less by love and more by curiosity. Eve urged Adam to eat the apple and he did so against his better judgement. But I don't think he was motivated only by pure absolute love. The very fact that they let the serpent/devil infiltrate their idle tells me their faith and love wavered. And as you would expect by taking the bite they exposed their fragile love to doubt and jealousy. I still am not convinced either was unselfish and would have reacted the same way given a more favorable outcome, because their love was tainted.

But I agree hundred % that it is of utmost importance how you use knowledge. It gives power in the hands of humans and that is its main flaw, and it lends itself to be ill used.
