Perpetual Youth? Would That Really Be a Problem for Today's Modern Woman?

What a load of crock, wanting to grow old with someone you love. How many Uhmerican women today really want that, as opposed to being the one who stays young while letting the man age? Many men and women may lament the loss of beauty and youth in women, but the fading of both qualities, which are connected, is also tied to reproduction, that is a drop in fertility. And so the loss of youth is both a consequence of original sin (and a punishment in that way) but also a mercy, a means to counteract a woman's pride, narcissism, and disordered self-love, though it may seem to come too late for many as their characters are well-ingrained. (How many Uhmerican women practice immodesty to flaunt their sexual power over men to feed their narcissism and pride with the attention of men and women?) But it is not too late for conversion, though if they have been squandering their youth and their ability to bond to a man through promiscuity, it may be too late for them to have an opportunity to exercise happiness in marriage.


Similarly, in the case of men, there is the suffering (or infliction?) of physical evil as a way to open the path to humility and holiness, but for men it is not physical beauty or attractiveness but the diminution of his physical or intellectual abilities (frailty and loss of memory) is.
