Modesty


Easily one of the biggest problems facing the world today, immodesty can be seen anywhere. From the behavior of sports stars and actors, plunging necklines and dropping skirt and short length, and even the purchases we make.

I am going to start with the behavior issues with modesty. Though most people believe modesty to deal with clothes it is part of just about everything we do. I have friends that seem to be slightly obsessed with sports, and that is totally cool. It is a great thing to have a passion for something. What gets me is some of the ways that super star athletes act out these days. Being jerks and doing stupid things for publicity. It isn't the way things used to be as far as I remember. Being in the spotlight all the time it would be nice if a better example was set for the hundreds of thousands of people that look up to them all the time. Being modest about accomplishments and not flaunting them everywhere you go is a great way to make friends.

Next up purchases. Buying big and extravagant stuff that you don't need can send a very wrong message to everybody around you. Mainly that you have lots of money and can buy those great big things that most others might not be able to afford. Would it not be a better choice to put money into something that will have a lasting and positive difference on others? Humanitarian work is huge with all the worldwide catastrophes going on, there are people going hungry and without homes or even a bed to sleep in. Is it not better to maybe get less for you and more for somebody else? The best way to get something out of life is to give what you want away. Aside from generally getting it back you gain something immediately when you give it away. Remember to be modest with what you buy, try to only get what you need.

Last but not least will be the fashion issue, and this is from a guys perspective. Modest clothing is starting to become more and more rare. When a girl wears tight clothes or a shirt that gives you any kind of view of cleavage makes me sick to my stomach. The reason for this being that every single female on this planet is a precious soul, and degrading your body for worldly gain is in my eyes no different than going to a public place and cutting large holes in yourself. A desperate plea for attention and not in a positive direction. There is no positive thing that can come from some guy being able to see down your shirt or up your skirt. All you do is put yourself on a butcher's table as a piece of meat, rather than someone with value. The most attractive girls in the whole world are the ones that have a brilliant countenance. It has nothing to do with what you wear to cover your body, but how you act and carry yourself that is attractive. A smile that carries to your eyes, a quick wit, confidence, and compassion are what will suck at least ME in to be attracted to a girl.

The way you dress can advertise your personality. I often look for funny shirts when I go clothes shopping. I enjoy seeing the reaction of others as they see it or read it and laugh. Bright colors generally will project a bright personality and dull colors a dull personality. Showing more skin will project that you want to be seen more as to things of the body rather than your mind. Be careful to wear clothes that won't reveal more than you want to be seen.

Modest is hottest.
Be seen for who you are.


You are Wonderful :)
