still some work to do

I've been scanning through some beautiful old photos, from backtoeden.tumblr.com, and I realize that I'm not exactly where I want to be.

What I meant to say is that I still have a while before the old habits from decades of brainwashing are removed.  I still have an unconscious tendency to glance at certain body parts more than others, when I want to be able to see the whole body as one, without regard to gender or age, in the context of what the person is doing in the photo.  It's still not quite the same as looking at, say, cars or buildings or animals.

Decades of incorrect dogma create a Pavlovian response which can be indomitable at first.  However, with more thought, more prayer, and more vigilance (so that the dumb devil doesn't snag me into places I shouldn't be), I will eventually get to the point where the human body is neutral both consciously and subconsciously.  That pesky subconscious mind can be a stubborn old coot sometimes.

As for places I don't belong...

Nothing sexual, and nothing mischievous.  That's the rule.  And the adversary knows that's my rule.  So I need to exercise a non-negligible amount of restraint and a significant amount of attentiveness to make sure I steer clear of his verminous ilk on the interwebs.
