Calloused

Just the other day (I don't remember how or why it came up) I was thinking about how evil our world can be sometimes. This "evil" is not always in the Hitler-like, murderous sense of the word, in fact more often than not it is a lot more subtle than this, because that's how Satan gets us. Now most people probably wouldn't agree with me, saying that I'm just being a religious fanatic, but I'm not trying to come off that way. When I say this is how "Satan gets us", I'm referring to myself more than anyone else because I've noticed it in my own life. When I was a kid, my parents made what was right and what was wrong very evident to me. They weren't extremely strict, but I knew what was "good" and what was "bad". My dad would used to make me cover my ears in movies when there was cursing, or cover my eyes when something remotely sexual came on the screen. This was so ingrained in me, that he really didn't even have to tell me to do so, if I saw something "bad" on the screen I would guard my eyes and ears myself without being told. As I've gotten older, I've noticed that I have become more calloused to these things. I don't cover my ears anymore, and I don't always turn away from sinful things in the way that I should, the way that I used to. I'm not saying that I need to go back to the innocent, childlike state that I used to be in (when I was a kid), but sin is sin and it sells. Big time. No matter what age I am or how "mature" I am I should always turn away from these evil things, and that's something that I fail at miserably on a normal basis.
