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"

More words she couldn't let out any more, for an agape look blocked them from coming out—only one phrase though that she was able to let out as well loudly. A shaken look upon her now-less-tired face was now made up a lot of her disturbed composure once quite a finding had been told… a finding that she just heard hit her quite hard that she couldn't help but to not buy it,

Putting on, therefore, later amongst the fallen orange and red leaves, after the quick surprise, a face of skepticism. Her forehead, decorated with a brass circlet, frowned slightly, trying to deny what she just heard from the man who walked a few steps in front—leading her way deeper into the autumn forest—after all, what the man just told was nothing more than his own assumption… though this one was not without a baseline,
