Redefining Modesty
When i was younger, i used to think modesty meant dressing up covered from head to toe. But as i grow older, i keep learning these values on a deeper level. In the 21st century, Modesty in reference to the dressing aspect is really slipping. More skin is being shown than ever before!
Redefining ModestyIn south Africa it sometimes of that provokes rape and the women battle all the time with the men, saying it is the 21st century and they can dress how ever they want! I’m not saying everyone should dress in potatoe bags and show nothing. I myself ant do that cause i was blessed with amazing legs! But the line has been crossed too far and i see half naked ladies on the streets all the time....and i’m like waow! Don’t they feel kina exposed? . Modesty shows respect for self and others. Modesty is beautiful! We shouldn’t dress like we are seeking attention. Show...LITTLE, not EVERYTHING!
