Sin.
I studied in a Catholic school for elementary. Contrary to what you guys might have guessed from the way I act now, I was actually good in our Christian Living subject. I even got awards, actually. So, from there, I had a pretty good idea of what sin was by what it wasn't.
Then, I grew up.
The though of sin being something negative slowly faded away. Things stopped being "right", or "wrong", but they just became "socially acceptable" and "socially unacceptable". Things you talk about, and things you don't. But even those distinctions blurred and formed a grey area. When I was in Pisay, I was really close with the people I hang out with, and I'm not really known for being careful with the words I use, so taboo words became less taboo and more everyday. Shouting "PENIS" doesn't shock anyone, nor does calling people "bitch" make them angry.
Then, I got exposed to hedonism, making life worth it, De Sade, pleasure things, all those weird stuff. Saw more things, thought about more things, expanded my horizons, and thought about things a little bit more. So...
What makes a sin a sin?
Are there points of view that make this sin NOT a sin?
If so, does that still count as a sin?
Are there sins that, no matter which way you look at it, remain a sin?
What 'thing' in sins make them negative no matter how you look at them?
Should all activities with that quality be considered a sin?
Do those activities even exist?
Is there even such a thing as 'sin'?
Or is it just something we made up?
Why would we make up such a thing?
Was it necessary to create such a concept?
Is it useful to society? Or does it hinder its growth?
♫ I give in to sin because we have to make this life livable. ♫
