Long ago, a friend of mine advocated spelling 'sin' with a capital 'I'
in the middle:

				sIn

Thoughts?

	Actually not a bad idea. It would help remind us to look the the beam in our own eyes before the sliver in that of others. Alfred

	...probably comes from the sometimes-prevalent idea that pride is the "original" sin and/or the foundation of all other sins.

	I had always understood that "sIn" meant "I sin" and was/is used by Christians as a shorthand and even a bumper sticker. Dave
303.6	Allowing the ego to become the center	CSC32::J_CHRISTIE	Watch your peace & cues	`Fri Sep 06 1991 17:02`	8
	To me, sIn is allowing the ego to become the center of one's life. There's a dynamic tension here, in that I believe that one must possess some measure of self-esteem. And at the same time I believe a life which seeks only self-fulfillment will most likely never find it. Peace, Richard
