![“The word ‘sin’ is derived from the Indo-European root ‘es-,’ meaning ‘to be.’ When I discovered this etymology, I intuitively understood that for a [person] trapped in patriarchy, which is the religion of the entire planet, ‘to be’ in the fullest sense is ‘to sin'.” quote by Mary Daly](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/465/mary-daly-12589_etymology_the-word-sin-is-derived-from-the-indo-eu_889160.jpg)
