That's interesting. Subservience to your R. Denying self-respect etc., self love what have you, in order to cling to a potentially "false" or unhealthy R idol.
Kind of goes back to the Biblical your body is God's temple, doesn't it? And you must respect it? And the immaterial emotions/inner dialogues etc. are also part of the corporeal temple...sort of ministers who need to be responsible for the guidance of the collective 'congregation?
And IMO I don't think you should apologize for the Christian view, Karen. God knows I'm not PC. Too hard to keep pace with every changing "vertically-challenged" for "short guy" nonsense etc. "You're short. So what? Deal with it. It doesn't define who you are so don't be so insecure. ."
Back on topic. Personally, as I look around at what's going on with modern society I think a little less human self-interest and a little more focus on Christian and other principles would only benefit what I see to be an otherwise pretty wandering self-consumed society. IMObservation.

The difference between a warrior and an ordinary man is the warrior views everything as a challenge; the ordinary man views everything as either a blessing or a curse.
