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>Breeze dashed, and was felt far and wide, cooling down the rural idyll of a dirt and unpaved road as the sun soared higher, warming the surrounding nature. Nature that was less jammed with throngs such as the dirt road now, and obviously there would be less dust to be blown by the dashing breeze, for neither passerby by walking nor riding animal-drawn transport to leave another mark on such a road already stuffed with footprints of theirs slowly eroding along the breeze. Such a road that once crowded with them entering and walking out of this little town; quite a subtle change in ambiance it was now, to such an extent even the white-masked witch who had been traveling along this road barefoot, could not notice till the very end of her journey which brought her to the other end of another road,</p>
