Where is Modesty

Where is modesty today? Do any women have a clue what modesty is and how it effects those around them? Or is it that women do not care? Do women look at the front and back of themselves in a full length mirror before they leave the house? Do they want to attract attention in a negative way?

Let me tell you about my experience this morning. I had a package to mail today and since it would not fit into my mailbox, I had no choice but to drive down town to our local post office. Finding a parking space was no problem on this day and since my package already had postage on it, I would not have to stand in line but just needed drop it off at the counter saving me a wait in line.

Upon entering the clerk area of the post office, I was met by a tow-headed little girl standing n front of the door. Her mother, who was standing at the counter making a label for her package, stopped what she was doing to grab her daughter's hand and pull her out of harm's way. What I saw shocked me although I should be accustomed to today's immodesty by now. This young mother who had a great figure, thank God, was wearing a very sheer white dress with a thong underneath as well as her brassier. When I saw her naked bum right through her dress, at first I thought she no undies on at all but then in her movement, I did notice the straps from her white lacy thong which matched her white lacy bra. I wanted to scream, "Why don't you just wear your undies to the post office? Why wear the dress at all?" Of course, I was being sarcastic in my head, as usual. But my gosh, I'm thinking does this ladies' husband care that she is showing her body like this for the world to see? Doesn't she know what men think when they see a women's body? Does he know what perverts think? Does she realize everyone can see through it? Did she look in the mirror after she got dressed this morning? Or is it that she doesn't care? Is it that she doesn't see anything wrong with letting everyone see what only her husband should be looking at? What gives in today's society?

So anyhow, I forgot that I didn't need to stand in line but being side tracked by this "almost naked" lady and I am standing behind at least 4 others in front of me waiting our turn at the face. This lady is behind me now talking to her daughter postal counter. One man in the front of the line is staring back and smiling. Need I say why? Meanwhile, this lady is standing behind me now and talking to her daughter out loud and bringing even more attention to herself and now 4 more people are behind her. I am sure they are getting a good show of her bare ass bum and some might even be enjoying it, I'm sure.

As I am standing there think about all I'd like to say to this lady, I see an older women being serviced at the counter wearing a pair of white slacks with striped underwear underneath! Ack! Ladies! What is wrong with this picture? Don't ladies look in the mirror anymore before they leave the house? This is not the first time I have seen this fashion faux pas. When wearing white pants, always wear white or flesh colored undies. Come on now! How naive are you? Here I am waiting ni line and staring at an old lady with striped underwear under her white pants. I have better things to do! By this time, I realized I was standing in line and I didn't need to, so I excused myself from in front of the "naked lady" and dropped off my package at a vacant counter making sure the clerk know I was leaving it.

For those clueless young and old ladies who have no clue what I am talking about, get a lesson here from old Webster's dictionary.

Dictionary.com defines modesty as the quality of being modest; freedom from vanity, boastful, .regard for decency of behavior, speech, dress, etc.

I love what WIKIPEDIA has to say about modesty - Modesty is most often rendered as humility, shyness, or simplicity. The general principles of modesty include: Avoiding attracting attention to oneself by moderating one's actions or appearance; Downplaying one's accomplishments (see humility); Avoiding insincere self-abasement through false or sham modesty, which is a form of boasting; Avoiding the display of one's body and sexuality, especially in public.

Can I get an AMEN???
