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?
