The “Malady” of Modesty

Sharing Options

“The moral hedges that surrounded our collective life have been trampled down. That is the paramount truth. What once was sublimated is now, in all of its raw and often violent nature, spewed forth in the name of liberty or self-expression. What once had to be private is now paraded publicly for the gallery of voyeurs. The virtues of the old privacy, such as reticence and modesty, are looked upon today as maladies” [David Wells, No Place for Truth (Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, 1993), p. 168.]
