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>Cramped this nature chamber was, dimmer out of light, closer to a dark state yet totally it was not. Instead dingy it was... dingy from lack of any available mean for the only light of the night passing through this cramped space beneath layers of gloomy green; green of a forest, of ill-lit woods shrouded in a thin white mist with no a sensual puff of wind swishing to and fro around the only bright hues within this somber space of forest, neither it was squeezing it-drifting-self between the huge chunks of trunks towering about towards the skies from the soil of the forested land that seemed hiding from its twinkling of many stars... shyly and timidly... the tenderly cold hues blended with its stark, bereft-of-color ground being hovered by the dense canopy that shut out the glimmering this night could offer... generously and willingly, however leniently, as its tolerant disposition was shown covertly and thoroughly.  </p>
