Some women who viewed trousers as evil in 1998 now see trousers as normal in 2018. They even wear pants now.
Some churches disgraced and humiliated ladies who wore trousers, but today most churches have grown in understanding and eliminated that religious obstinacy.
Be careful what you criticize so voraciously today, perhaps in 10 years time you might see the world differently.
It's okay that you would have changed then, but your voracious attacks on people now could have hurt them so much and possibly damaged their minds.
The thing about ignorance is that you don't even know when you are ignorant. Be careful of the things and people you so vehemently vilify, for in a few years you might have a paradigm shift.
As you bask in your new found knowledge in future, your actions toward people during your time of ignorance may have kept some in perpetual gloom. Their minds might have become irreparable.
While we must all be careful to stand for something and not be tossed about by every wind of opinion, we must also be careful to keep an open mind and to learn better ways of doing things.
The way you were born into, the beliefs you grew up to know may not be all that the world is about. We must not hold on to an idea simply because we were born into it, rather because we have learned for ourselves and we know it's the way to go.
Would we always be right? No.
But at least we would have chosen the way to go of our own freewill, and this way we'll always take responsibility for our behavior and actions rather than blame our ancestors.
Nice writeup but the example you used about women wearing trousers isnt worth it. The fact that years come an go and time and tide chances, it doesnt change the standard of God.
Agreed. Especially about the unchanging standard of God.
I guess the issue is the different interpretations of this standard.
I never said the standard of God changes. What I'm portraying is that we should not judge others so quickly.
