Is it Sin that makes one a sinner?
Or is it Kin that makes one a sinner?

Many say we are born innocent and untainted, and yet in Sin we are all related to one another. For we are one Kin, and with this Sin we share that we are born with. And even a certain doctrine holds that one's Kin, through the fact of birth, inherit a tainted nature with a proclivity to sinful conduct in need of regeneration…

"I was brought forth in iniquity, and in Sin did my Mother conceive me."
…or so the doctrine says,

"We are all born sinners because of Kin that brings us together."
…and so we think: we are born with Sin inherited from our Kin,

But, should that hold us back from acting with virtue?
No, we should not hold back, even when Sin entered the world through one Kin, and Death through Sin, and in this way, Death came to all beings, because all sinned,

But even so, we all have freedom to be a being we want when we embrace Death,
To be a fraudulent Human,
To be a violent Angel,
To be a benevolent Devil,

And what one wants to be, neither "Sin" nor "Kin" should define what "Self" one is going to be, let "Journey" instead that defines one "Self"

Sin of Kin

<p>Night was... simply a reserved being; being simply a morose in its very root of nature of darkness, of loneliness... very reticent and secretive thus wrapping the land with its hushed setting. Only the distant murmurous of the whispering wind which gently stroked - swishing about along with the flow of haze and that cold grass below the shelter of those gloomy skies. Gloomy mien, showing no bright typical of the blue skies like its relative, but an utter darkness utterly dominated the whole of this land... albeit temporary, simply as part of cycle as many say. This balanced the infinite creations, counterbalancing the shiny bright and warm daylight, with its gloomy dark and cold night,</p>
