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

Whether because the space down here was tight that there wasn't enough space to breathe in the air; felt like it choked his lungs while its pungent stuffy smell shoved deep into his throat; had no other options regardless, such air he had to breathe in and deep… otherwise, how would he express himself out of an obscene scene? Well, with a brief gasp that was soon followed by hyperventilating breaths… the stimulus? Back to the pungent smell that overrode the lack of fresh air down here, that of thick smell of something metallic yet somehow nauseating,

"Now I get it why you'd call it nasty sorcery. It is one hell of nasty sorcery aight…"
