Archery term. Sin. To the left. You missed the mark! You're not a bad person, you're not going to hell.
Church and Community have loaded the word with artificially high levels of negativity. We think of Sin as something which, once committed, is a stain, a low-water mark in our lives.
Better to regard it as Something to Avoid instead of Something to Cultivate. As we delve more deeply into the Other Deadly Sins, keep that in mind.
Something else to keep in mind: Words are only pointers.
