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"

"So, what exactly is Iešana Festival?"

Standing from the far sideline; in fact, very few of them chose to watch and enjoy the festival from the far sideline, and one of whom was being so curious for it was her first time to be in here and watching too. Her lemon-yellow eyes simply couldn't leave a vast scene in front, where the ten children wearing the same idea of clothing—all looking creamy white, perhaps as a part of the festival tradition—now already filled their place, lining up on what looked like a starting line… about to charge and wallop a horde of almost a thousand people with each holding that bloody-looking shaft of wheat,

Quite a sight, especially for the witch-disguised devil being the first festivalgoer of such a festival which she had no idea about… its first impression alone couldn't make up for her inquisitive nature,

"You can't possibly expect ten children to go up against a thousand adults, can you?"
