Naked is the new fashion statement.

All around me I hear people complaining about the way younger people dress today. Its interesting to observe that its not just one gender guilty of bad/immoral dressing. From young men that display their underwear by sagging their trousers to beautiful young ladies that expose places that should be kept hidden, our minds are assaulted with all kinds of sights on a daily. A question that comes to my mind is who's responsible for the state of immoral dressing? Secondly what can we do about it, apart from complaining all the time?

First off I'd like us to understand that because its the last days, immorality is on the increase because demonic activity has multiplied too. However despite this I also strongly believe these influences are supported by the transfer of wrong values. What I mean by this is simple. We dress the way we do because of the values transferred to us from our communities (which include movies, families, peer groups and so on).
All you need to change is a person's values and his dressing changes. It's also interesting to observe that even those who have fundamentally changed natures (i.e believers) are caught up in this fray.

But what's the big deal about what I wear (or don't wear by the way)?

Dressing is a fundamental expression of identity. Even though some may argue that a person's convictions is internal and unseen, dressing is one way to reveal it. More important is the fact dressing, being a form of art, is an expression of values, beliefs and personal disposition. This is why dressing right is vital. Well I'm not here to give a fashion lecture. My focus is to show you, reading this post, what can be done to salvage the existing situation.

1. One way is to flood the market with clothes that push good values. Have you noticed that you can't get a pair of jeans in the stores now that aren't tight-fitting? Is it a coincidence? What if people had more options to choose from? The devil's strategy is to corner us into making the wrong decision.
   
2. The second thing you can do is to encourage people to dress better and educate them on how important dressing right is. Maybe we could just have a more sane environment right? These are just my thoughts.
