We couldn't believe what she had worn, whom she had been seen with, what crazy thing she had done this time. There was always something to talk about when the subject was that girl from English class (no one ever remembers her name.) Exchanging shocked looks and harsh opinions of the juicy stories about her was good procrastination material before we focused again on the homework we were supposed to be doing. One of our friends cut in with, “Guys... she has a soul too you know.” Then, just as quick as the conversation had taken off, it came to a screeching halt.
We didn't mean to objectify anyone, to only see their exterior. We didn't mean to take away their dignity. We didn't mean to be nasty. But talking together we got carried away and the truth was, we sinned against our sister in Christ.
