Some Fruits of Solitude Part 11: Apparel (73-78)

 Some Fruits of Solitude

Bonus: 

Look at her forehead!

Summary: Don't waste your money on fancy clothes. Give to the poor. Don't be a JEZEBEL'S FOREHEAD!

Commentary: 

73. Excessive clothes are a waste. The rich have enough clothes for everyone.

74. Pick clothes for yourself, not others. Simple and modest is best.

75. If they're clean and warm, that's good enough. Spending more than that is money that could go to the poor.

76. It's better to be beautiful on the inside.

77. The more modest the clothes, the more beautiful on the inside.

78. It's a shame inner beauty is rare and JEZEBEL'S FOREHEAD is common. Lust is an impediment to virtue.

Jezebel's Forehead is what we should call being slutty now. All in all, this is a fairly solid list.

Topic List: Ignorance, Education, Luxury, Inconsideration, Disappointment And Resignation, Murmurs, Censoriousness, Bounds of Charity, Frugality or Bounty, Discipline, Industry, Temperance
