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

"Erynew told me this morning, before she left…"

Starting out lightly, casually words parted away through his lips being moved by jaws that opened, along with breath of air coming out of his rima oris – the cool air he breathed just a moment ago when silence that of a tranquility was being carried along gently through such air… such breeze in such a place… floating between a soothing flow of a calming river below, and cloudy skies above,

"…it turns out that Shining Worms can also be used this way. She said they can be some sort of root that can soak up water and radiate heat."

This little boy who happened to be in the same position as the only interlocutor of his in midair… half-lying down and staring the same cloudy skies; he spoke as he smiled, trying to crack the appeasing silence… Giza who was about to build up the atmosphere,
