Indecent Dressing: Bane Of Our Society
Before looking at the troubles indecent dressing has caused in the society today, we have to know the meaning of indecent. In a simply term we can say if something is not decent then it is indecent and indecent means something that is not good for the eyes to behold.
I know much has been said on this issue but I still want to emphasize on it because it might likely change the attitude of some young people who like dressing indecently.
Most often, we see ladies exposing the sensitive parts of their bodies which are supposed to be covered, all in the name of fashion. The main objective of clothe is for covering, but if it no longer serves the purpose for which it was made, them its being abused.
From the Bible, we learnt that Adam and Eve, the First man and woman on earth used apron when they noticed they were naked but were not properly covered. God due to his loving kindness saw they were not properly covered made cloth for them with animal skin for them to be properly covered and protected.
Before now, it was noted that only people that have physchological problem are the people we discover that go half naked on the street but today, we see people that we can say are mentally okay going half naked on the street.
The question now is, are they really okay as you think? If yes why do you think they dress that way? People, they say, are being addressed the way they are dressed, no wonder there are lots of rape cases, molestation of women on the streets in the cities because of their indecency in dressing which exposes the parts of their bodies, the sensitive parts that are supposed to be covered in other to gain attention from men. After gaining. The attention what next? Molestation, rape which results in some being infected with diverse diseases, while some die along the process, are the bane or consequencies indecent dressing has caused in the society among others.
Somebody suggested that it is only irresponsible men that go after such persons. But I think this is not so. It is not a matter of being responsible or irresponsible because that is their nature and it takes the grace of God to close your eyes when you see such thing. My grievance goes to the ladies who expose their body all in the name of fashion.
Fashion simply means “The popular style of clothes, hair and behavior of an individual etc. at a particular time (Long Man Dictionary). Simply put it is a particular style of an individual. It does not mean dressing with your body exposed. Like some young people do today. The bible talks about moderation in all we do including dressing. You don’t have to look haggard or rough but be at the middle in other to please your maker. It went further to say. “Let not your nakedness be discovered…” therefore, if you are on the contrary, you are displeasing your creator.
Gradually, we can see indecent dressing creeping into churches and they still claim they are sensing God. How do you think God will accept your service when you are sending men to hell right from the church, uncovering the parts he said you should cover.
Don’t you think that is disobedience?. Imagine man condemning indecent dressing talk of God who introduced dressing right from the Garden of Eden will he condole this of course no.
Some make-ups too look indecent due to the way they are being applied. Some excess use of make-up make some ladies look fearful and some looking like masquerade. Some ladies use all kinds of colours when making up and it makes them look odd.
This make-up does not really matter. I believe if someone is beautiful the person is beautiful without the use of makeup because some don’t know how to apply this make-up. Try to minimize excessive use of your makeup and you will look beautiful.
When we talk of indecent dressing not only in clothing but make- up also because it’s part of dressing. Making use of shouty colours makes you look indecent (offensive). Like the lady I saw yesterday, she was fixing the feather of bird (red colour) on the corners of her eyes. I was so amazed when I saw her and I began to imagine about this, what is dressing really turning into this days. The more the days are prolonged the more fashion keep pumping out into the society with different motive.
Don’t they stand in front of their mirrow before going out? Of course they do because every woman likes using the mirrow. One should be able to note if the make-up she wears is decent, fit to go, or not before leaving the room.
There are ways one will use this make-up and it will really look nice, why not go for that and you will be attractive instead of putting the one that will make you look odd and people begin to look at you as an irresponsible person.
For us to put a stop to the troubles indecent dressing has caused in our society, we must eradicate indecent dressing in other to avoid its bane and also stop the act of sending people to hell who might not have gone to hell but because of lusting after a lady who expose her body. They find themself there.
You might say it is not his fault but he should have removed his eyes at the first look and avoid continuous look which might lead to lust.
So if you come across half naked ladies in the street suddenly, try to take your eyes off and plead for grace and you will overcome. I used to overcome because some of these ladies are agents that are sent to entise men. Please young men, do not be a victim through your eyes by what you look at on the street. Pray for mercy to over-come. I believe if an agency is being set up to punish people who dress indecently on the strat, and the policy being carried out, then others will see, learn and refrain from indecent dressing which is the bane of the society.
