what ever happened to "Shame' or " Modesty" or the notion that we have a conscience; which should act as a guardrail on our pathway of life??
To every Man, woman, or child...
What ever happened to our Conscience which is suppose to act as a kind of guard rail on the Pathway of life?? Who made " Modesty " a dirty word and why does it seem that no one feels shame any more?? These are just a few things we will look at today...
First; Shame is a good emotional reaction to things which are not in our best interest... HUH!! Imagine that folks; things that may not be our best interest... What a novel thought in this world of do what you want...
Yes, I know that the entertainment industry in recent years has shown every conceivable thing they can come up with; with out any shame... They have lead the way to the thought; that there is no real shame... While the idea may be popular and flaunted in todays society; believe me this idea of ' No Shame" will come back to haunt us... As it is not true, for a person without shame is truly a lost soul...
Shame is used to keep our base, vial, personalities in check; so we could behave as civil humans; rather than with brute animals responses... Some would ask why we need to shame?? Well once you open the door to crass and crude actions, with out any remorse or consequences, you have set the trap for total failure... Shame is a stop gap or limiting factor, so that we do not get beyond our real desires...
While desire is an emotion Ordained by GOD; it is to be used with concern as to understanding of the consequences in life... Remember the old saying " There is no free lunch " should stand out as an example of not; just jumping into bed with what ever comes down the pike, so to speak... So when desire is controlled and directed toward a goal it becomes a very worth while thing in our life...
Modesty is another key part of this human defense mechanism if you please... It allows one to bow out or learn to keep oneself in check; under many undesirable occasions... This built in modesty mode was to have one excuse or remove oneself from such actives that could prove both dangerous, uncompromising or plain gross... It is these defense mechanisms if you please; that help us keep our person under control and responsive to our real wishes and desires... The idea is to learn to control and respond to our lust or covertness in life...
The main key is our conscience; the guardian which is the real keeper of our soul... Our conscience should direct us; so we can function in life and be the best person... If we can not learn to live with our life under control then we will never ever be able to do anything of value either for ourself or anyone else!! Our conscience is the key; to our controlling ourself and following our core values...
Now if you do not understand what core values are or how they operate; then we will need to cover this more later... This whole concept of conscience is based on the primes that you are an intelligent spirit; who should be seeking the best pathway of life... Conscience is the reminder or presence of one's core values and built in principles where they help to reinforce our existence... Without a conscience you are no more than a mad dog; or rabid skunk lost in the world of the sane and living... This is the curtain between evil and good; or sane and forever lost in mind and spirit... Without conscience one becomes a person with a reprobate mind!!
Very sad but so preventable; with a good conscience and strong mind; we can be the person GOD meant for us to be... Why do we even want to try to cross this mind field of grief and pain?? The decision is yours!!
I will write more on the conscience and soul for those who do not understand the connection... See Ya, Kermit
