The more you realize that what others are castigated for now is what will become normal & celebrated tomorrow, the more unshaken you'll be about your beliefs
In fact, current trends borrow from the old, slap shoe polish on it & call it new.
Religion -> Programming -> Culture

I think about Covid19 & how people made so much fun of it, which made others go with the belief that it was made up (not real)
The "others" that went with the belief without grounding themselves in research and having a strong personal faith suffered. Losses of friends & family!

In fact, some big leaders in the USA that made mockery of this thing are some of the first set of folks to get the vaccine. It's fascinating really!

..to leave because he loved to dress really good. Not even flambouyant, but expensive. But his brothers in the Lord always told him that he was too carnal & the money he spent on expensive suits could be used for the advancement of the gospel.
He's a provost now. Very christian, but has strong personal beliefs. I can't believe that all of us are here now pressing computer & really can't do without these tech advancements.

..allowed us to combine HTML, CSS and PHP in one script.
Boom it worked. And then people started screaming that it was ugly and complex. We all moved to unobtrusive programming & separation of concerns. Everything should be in its own file.

..and css-in-js. And I see people praise these things like we were not doing them before!
Today, I saw the whole React server-rendering and Rails debate. Now every one wants to server-render because performance benefits, consistent SEO performance but that's what PHP does well

..and of course it's secure. These days we have so many heavy client-side code that its so easy for things to be broken if tons of checks & balances are not put in check (esp. with the way node.js libraries are used on the client).
Anyways, Not here to say any is better or bad.

I also think of anklets. So many men here will say "Ah, she's a bad girl". "Ashawo". And even the older women will bring in reinforcements about how the woman is not a "wife material" (I hate this word btw) or of good behavior.
But I go through photos & videos of our culture...

..and see that anklets are a norm. The wives of the kings of old wore it a lot in forms of beads and so many materials. Women wore it for lots of special occasions & dances. In fact, it was a beauty enhancer. So, what changed?

As always, this is just a rant. However, it's just good to know that before you take any life action, be sure that you actually desire it (not because people are doing it) but you've found genuine conviction....or you're on a journey of finding it.
