There is an
interesting human behavior in society and on the Internet. I would name it “Hide
and Seek”, but surely mind researchers have named it properly.
I've seen the way
how many people use to dress up each day, but on Fridays, many of them wear the
“best”, same way church goers dress up to attend some meetings.
All the week we
dress like common workers or the average, but on Fridays some others look
better, well-fashioned and, many reasons are concerning socializing, their
going out with somebody. Isn't it like wearing a mask or an uniform?
My sister's
daughter told me some of her reasons... The company where she works gives its
workers permission to relax, to wear casual on Fridays and she feels better,
but she has to keep the company's standard and executive modesty.
As an outsider, I
see how girls try to look sexier on Fridays, wearing higher shoes when they're
going to work, and I cannot not be fooled, they are free to do what they're
pleased and allowed by conventional common laws but, Am I keeping God's
standards of modesty?
I cannot deny the
fact that I've looked one some girls the way I shouldn't but, Am I the only one
fighting against the lust of these eyes?
Some of them have
looked me down while I just stared or felt “alive”. Ja! Ja!
I'm not the only.
I know of girls, ladies and men who struggle the same (we all are humans).
There are some fleshy ideas coming when we look wrongly at someone we
considered sexy or nice looking, since we were trained to think the way the
world keeps on teaching and I'm thankful that married women or engaged couples
have noticed that certain “naked” fashion and open-minded social behaviors make
any to look “sexy” or humanly desirable, far beyond normal friendship or casual
dating.
God's fashion and
dressing standards are being learned by those who walk in His Spirit. Those who
know how eyes can lie, and are developing self control, even when we can forget
-sometimes- Jesus gave us a lecture on avoiding looking at persons
lustfully (it's a human drive that calms down sometimes when being married)
I'm thankful for
those women who hide and are dressed up with modesty, married or not. These are
the ones who know what they want and what a man can really offer them to be
married. I'm against free open-minded dating, unless I have known a young lady
willing to marry me but, if we haven't been good friends, the road is lost... I
have wasted time!
On the Internet I
foolishly laughed on some tricks I know. I've seen dissatisfied women
pretending to be single or separated, but they're not alone. Some single
mothers “hide and seek” same ways like men, but these last are easily
understood, because this trick has always happened on secular society, and the
“law” permits anyone to lie and hurt others, under common social consent.
I know real
stories of men and women cheating on line. Some of them pretended to play a
fair hide and seek game, but many were married or engaged to another,
and some of my female friends have told me sad stories where they felt a real love,
they felt being loved by the appropriate Mr Right One and, when
personally meeting in a date, they were actually loving women who have
used their mask to lie, using the Internet to access humans minds or personal
writings.
There are good
stories to talk about (I have published some of them on the Internet) and this
kind of online human intercourse may serve those who never had a real life or a
short one for themselves. “Dating” or playing “Hide and Seek” on
the Internet, as well as in real life, may serve some to grow up, but grown-up
Christians ought to be reminded this is just another play that can hurt and
sometimes kill, both, emotionally and physically.
I like those
persons, like me, who warn people not to enter their profile or info.
It's like those houses that placed some signs telling people: “Beware of
the dogs”. Is it a rotty dog you would meet? (is it a hungry tiger or a
cougar?) :P
No transgressors
are allowed, but PMs are sent to “knock down minds doors”, and it's
shown some houses are broken in, same way some minds are cracked here or
somewhere else.
Christians minds
are set on God's standards. God's laws are firewalls and
anti-virus.
I know that,
those who are using avatars have their committed reasons to hide and to avoid
being sought (Some people are for chatting, and not wooing).
I have lately
seen how girls and ladies are chased in the streets, same way on chat rooms.
I'm glad God allowed me to be men. I've seen how girls are pretty different
than us, and no wonder why we keep on searching for the missing piece
rather than the missing peace. They are lovable, because God made
them to be lovable, more than once (unless we both misbehave).
I beg women
understand our misbehaviors. The world gave us same bad lessons you were trained
to avoid or cling to. The Internet may serve to play games, but it also serves
to train our children to avoid being cheated or hurt. Cats and lions hugely
train their kids to live: A dog bites to avoid being bitten, and a sweet bee
stings, when she sees someone tries to steal her honey (or money).
I don't like
playing games, I won't knock on “risky zones”, I don't like hidden faces, and
will not visit those who deeply love their signs of “Beware of the dog”
placed at the entrance as “welcome” carpets (I don't like to bark at
the wrong tree).
Some Christians
sites are bringing blessings rather than other places. Some of us are so deeply
hurt that we do not dare to be healed, and don't try a new healing (that's
lawful and conventional understood).
Perhaps here, on
earth, we have too little common ground. Perhaps my likeness serves only my
mirror so I could wash my face once, to look after my selfish thoughts, and to
be engaged with dreams, because urban people like to find out where their prey
is... Is this instinctively done by Christians too? I quit!
Life is a
lottery, and I have heard the same. I don't want to bet any longer: “No one
could receive anything if it doesn't come from above.” Said John, the
baptist.
I beg the
righteous kingdom of God comes soon into my life. I beg to be taken into His
presence and have some room to be a true hermit, the way I think I am.
Betting never
pays well! Because: “Easy comes easy goes”
Looking
at the positive.
I love Jesus' way
to approach people. He wasn't playing games and, more than that, He played
fairly honest when asking questions. I'd like to share the way He talked to a
“solitary” woman, during the noon of a hot day (John 4:6). They talked and,
apparently, they both were alone (John 4:8), because the disciples marveled
when returning (John 4:27).
Jesus wasn't
playing “Hide and Seek”, He wasn't sending hypocritical PMs, but He only asked
her to bring her mate to share, and she said she wasn't married (John
4:16-18). Was she wearing social masks?
She became
interested in which thing He has to offer and, in fact, she asked Him, who He
was when perceiving His grace (John 4:12).
Jesus was not
judgmental.
Instead, He said she was telling “the truth”, but we are aware she
was telling another thing and many of us say one thing, avoiding telling
the envious or hidden truth: Are you single? I'm divorced. Would I rather
say separated or engaged? No! I can't afford it.
Jesus always
acted according to His preaching. That time, 2000 years ago, He came to save
humans; next time He will come to judge, while interceding for those He knew,
for those He loved, those who have repented their sins and sought after His
will.
We don't know
what is in everybody's mind, but we play hide and seek. Jesus knew she
was telling half the truth and He acknowledged the positive side of
it, and bypassed the negative. We play games and hurt, but that's not the way
it should be.
Why some people
warn not to use PMs? (Personal Messages) Up to them!
Why do I need to
use PMs, if I can say openly my real thoughts? Privacy is foolish. The Internet
servers are monitored and, more important than this, I could be banned by
God ETERNALLY.
We are afraid of
many things. We don't want to be molested or disturbed. We don't want to be
hurt (while hurting and hunting the prey).
I seldom go to
hidden faces or places. I always looked after nice looking faces, and seldom to
the ugly duck...
Should I say,
instead, “We” to mention more people than just the evil in me? (I regret
this code working in my mind, so I protest.)
I will not
apologize for being me. I cannot remove this incoherent program I own deep in
me (but I keep on trying).
I thank you just for
being you, for letting me know who you are; and I did nothing to
help, but confessed me and denounce the world we all are living in.
A.T.
