Bringing in old writings of mine - Clothing
*These have some worthwhile value, but they have been written over a period of several years*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Clothing is a big deal Matter of fact, clothing is a multi-million dollar per year deal. I dont have a problem with clothing in and of itself, infact I applaud clothing and wish that people would wear some. There is the crux of the matter so to speak. People are NOT wearing clothing, now I know that your going to say, "Yo Carter, I was just outside today, and last I knew, everybody had something covering them." I will agree with that. EveryBODY had something over it, but not everyONE was wearing clothes. What I saw everyBODY wearing were some "how to wash" tags held together by strings. REAL people wear REAL clothes. Things that DONT show off the bellybutton, things that don't draw attention to your "unmentionables" that you hide in the bottom of your drawer when mummy-dearest comes to visit.
As guys, we are visually based. That means that unless we are always paying attention when dealing with girls, our eyes will track to whatever the girls are showing off. A modestly dressed girl is much more attractive to us guys than an im-modest one because we can see their face and eyes. Now you girls are proud of the way that you dress, and thats all right. go ahead and be proud, but be proud of dressing responsibly. You can claim that it's the guy's fault if his eyes wander but that doesnt justify you dressing in such a manner as to ATTRACT his eyes to wander. You can also claim that you are dressing more modestly than soandso. Sure you might be dressing more modestly than soandso, but Hitler also killed less people than Stalin did, so does that make Hitler any less of a murderer? What I am saying is that there is an ABSOLUTE standard of modesty - either you are or you are not. Guys should also be aware of dressing im-modestly but it isnt as much an issue since girls are not visually based like gus are. Guys, we dont need to wear tight pants and revealing clothes either. Fortunately for us, baggy is acceptable dress.
You dont have to dress in sacks, but you dont have to wear figleaves either. God gave Adam and Eve clothes made from animal skins to cover their shame. If he made Adam and Eve cover their shame, why are we showing OFF our shame?
