O Society.
I have done a bit of people watching lately (thank you, Steffi). At first, it was a far away people-watch, and then it turned into an up-close watch.
I just spent a weekend at a Jazz festival at UW with about 100 other high school students. It is interesting to see how kids react. Yeah, I understand, we’re only like what? Age 14-18? So there’s a bit of a lack of maturity. However. I am wondering if in the old days, girls acted the way we do; guys acted the way they do.
It’s interesting to see that girls that have to be loud for attention. Therefore, the response of the guy is to be loud right back. OK, again, there is a lack of maturity. But…I don’t know. Does it have something to do with home-life? Or am I over-analytical?
It seems that if a woman were to teach her daughter the gospel and what that means for her identity, that girl wouldn’t have to be loud to get attention…to be liked…
Please! Pursue me. Delight in my beauty. Enthrall in me. Be pleased with me. Get to know me. Discover my inmost being. I long for it.
I guess it’s a struggle in girls as a whole these days. And the guy’s response? AWKWARD! The gentlemen’s response is to back down. And the schmo response is to be loud right back and join in on the “fun.”
Just a thought. Maybe more later.
