About sin

Are we not all born sinners?  Isn't that the purpose of baptism?  I do not know all the sins I have committed in this lifetime but I am sure there are many.  I know I have not committed any grievous sins, but they are sins nonetheless.  Would it not be amazing if such a thing as a pilgrimage really did give a new lease on life?  A baptism, a cleansing of the soul? 

And what is enlightenment?  It must be different for each person.  Every time I have had a brilliant new insight I think I am enlightened.  But it never stops.  Probably it should never stop or we would stop growing as humans.  Learning, especially about ourselves, is what makes us human, isn't it?
