I am a survivor of catholic schools, so, as a young fellow, obedience was quickly dismissed.
As I worked my way through puberty, under the supervision of celibate women and men, I came to disparage chastity, at least as it was understood by my religious mentors.
Now that I am considerably older I would advise caution with regard to prudence and temperance. I think that we lose a very important element of living, if, as we age, we become risk averse. If prudence and temperance are of any value, I think they should teach us to evaluate and value change and risk, not to shun them.
A very intuitive comment, my friend. I would tend to agree with it. I wasn’t raised Catholic and I didn’t go to Catholic schools, but I heard horror stories from my daughters who did …

Hahahaha, true! You are not a dog —I’ll vouch for that!
Thanks, Connie.
