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>Resembling a palatial home perhaps to this one little girl, all with the fancy of being with no one else around but her own company… to drown out… by her own voice of thoughts that wrought the simmering silence reigning over the solitude. The dimmer and colder and quieter one, it was all supposedly so, all with the moist refreshment and yet mostly moistless air her lungs sucked in… sucking in the smell of haystack… it was a delightful dusty smell for it was sweet as well the air that flew into her chest. Felt heavy however, with every breath the young girl felt when she was sitting on a haystack while drowning herself amongst the high-stacked ones, but neither affliction nor ailment was the cause of it; all simply because of the upset she made—memories inside of her were playing a previous occurrence that was bitter without glitter,</p>
