In a time of excessive vice, sometimes heroic excess of virtue are the only antidote. It's hard to imagine your own way of life being abnormal, but the more I expose myself to historical sensibilities, especially on the virtues of modesty and chastity, the more alarmed I am by our own refusal/failure to even begin to approach practicing these timeless virtues that virtually every culture recognized until our own novel moment in history.
If a particular vice is pervasive because of our indifference towards it, sometimes a conspicuous portrayal of the opposite virtue is exactly what we need to stir us out of that indifference.
