Filters and monitoring programs, yeah, THOSE WILL SAVE US!!! Okay, not really.
So filtering programs block adult content. This is good right? I don't need anything else right? All addicts love filtering programs. Why? Because they are a false sense of security.
Don't get me wrong, they are very beneficial. Especially if you have everyone using the same computer. These programs can save the lives of your young ones who aren't searching out bad stuff. It can help keep the innocent, well, innocent. But in today's cyber world, pornography appears all over. Why? Because it's not always "pornography", it's "art". It's "instructional", it's "natural". It's objectified so much so that people think of it as objective.
Ha. I can't remember where i heard it, but just recently i even heard someone say that all those nude historical statues were really just old time pornography. They were saying it as a joke, but i believe it.
When we accept that we are addicts, we accept that the meaning of their word "pornography" takes on a whole new meaning. Before i was sober, (7 months coming up in 2 days, yaaaay!) Well, even before that, maybe when i just barely stopped lying to myself and began to accept i was an addict, i thought pornography was strictly x rated material. As stated, I'm an addict and insane, (and I'll come back to filtering programs vs. Monitoring programs) so on my computer, i had saved all kinds of "art" that i thought were "inspirational" and "awesome" pictures. I had art books full of the stuff. Comic books too. Heck, regular bookd that you read full of the stuff too. This, i assured myself, was not pornography. I think about it now and laugh because WOW, i am INSANE! To think that there was a difference is insanity. What's even worse, is i would use it to act out! And still, it wasn't porn.
