Have we misdefined the word "transgression"? If progress is walking forward and regression is walking backward, then transgression means something like “beyond walking.” A transgression is not a sin, but it’s to walk in a direction that is not aligned with our shared notions of progress. It escapes the spectrum. Maybe that’s a meander, maybe that brings us to hell, or maybe that brings us to our destiny. And isn’t so much high-level success about breaking out of local maxim to find a better current to follow? Isn’t genius about hitting the mark that’s out of view? A transgression is something that escapes black and white morality.
