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

The pressure was building, fear was forming, and a shocked feeling was stretching his jaw open, and wide enough in fact that it looked falling over off that sweating face of his as his fight-or-flight response was triggered even more intense than before…

…yet to flight he could not, for the precious tendons had been torn apart making them useless to carry him away with godspeed; whereas to fight… well, let's just say… it was easier for him to flight despite his condition rather than to fight. For it was no doubt an impossible task to fight back against a force that blew his mind away… against someone who just casually blew away the bloody mist that supposed to be 'All-Melting' – and with only one swing on top of that…
