I have noticed that many times there seems to be no good choice in life. The lesser of two evils seems to be the best I can do.
There is also the saying "Oh what a web of woe we weave when first we practice to deceive". I have noticed there is some truth to that saying, because evil choices tend to make good choices in the future impossible. For example, if a nation goes to war then the soldiers have only two evil choices - kill or be killed.
So maybe "original sin" and the "fallen world" are identical. After the first sin of Adam, the truly good choices in the future disappear. A person cannot be free of sin, because all the choices are sinful and evil. The only fix for this problem is to create a new world to replace the fallen world.
The problem with this idea is accommodating the claim that Jesus lived free of sin. If the fallen world has no truly good choices available then Jesus would have been forced to sin like every other human.
