The other day I reported a survey that revealed a new low in the public’s view of morality.
Thinking on that today, I had one of those flashbacks that annoy me. Do you remember late adolescence? The flashback returned me to the 60s. Perhaps you were one of those who thought the “morality police” were just closed-minded old people whose time had passed? Those thoughts occurred to me back then.
My typical adolescence thinking figured it was just a way to limit freedom and curtail our fun. Sort of a club wielded by hypocritical people to unjustly curtail our freedom.
Random thought—We seem to have many adolescents running around these days whose number of birthdays adds to far more than 21.
I love how often paradox reveals truth. Try this one on for size.
Yes, morality does constrain our freedom to do anything our whims would lead; yet, these very constraints actually set us free to become the fully mature people for which we were designed.
