private parts. you know, the parts that are tucked away for no one else to see? the parts that are always covered, fiercely guarded, not even really appropriate to talk about? as kids they caused us to snicker and giggle. as teens they caused us to blush. and as adults - well, it appears to be a whole new ball game!
however, since early 2004 it has become socially acceptable and even encouraged to bare it all. there are hardly any topics that are not shared, exposed, laughed about, poked, photographed and commented on. where did the modesty go? are we comfortable with this new sensationalism or are we just so wrapped up in the thrill of knowing all that we barely recognize what is happening to us?
now i am hardly a prude, but i do think a certain amount of decorum is a good thing to embrace. so, as you continue posting on facebook i do hope you will keep this in mind. (hee hee)
Though I agree there is far too much exposure with regards to physical hardware, there is correspondingly less and less real exposure of the heart. Sex, exposure thereof has become so commonplace that to gain access to those intimate locations is no longer guarantee of access to the person.
ReplyDeleteWe have lost much in trying to gain freedom to express and experience. Perhaps it is for our children to learn proper and ordinate modesty while learning to risk and give themselves honestly. We can always pray it be so.
