Okay, so we ended up just concluding about she had no clue what idea system that I come from, but she learned alot from me, learning that within the system of Christianity, life takes higher value than just material things, including pleasures. But once we make pleasures the forefront of living, life takes no meaning. Just ask Howard Hughes (go wikipedia that one).
I don't know what is going on in Korean society today, but if people accept this notion that porn is okay for the young soul, this kinda stuff easily permeates the mind and destroys reality. I learned today from a fellow teacher that in a survey, 40-50% of Korean men have at least one affair during their marriage. Also, the divorce rate in Korea is getting higher every year.
Why? Well, I'm not saying dirty mags are a direct factor, but the idea of relationships and commitment has become so mis-construed, that you can't help to think about what is happening to our value system in the world, not just America. We always talk about how values are deteriorating in North America, but think about the rest of the world, especially in societies where they tend to better off and more materialistic things exist.
So back to Mrs. Kim, she basically ended up saying that porn is okay, even though she was not endorsing it. "One man's private pleasure is his alone," does not cut it, because its the little things in life that make a big difference. She just did not know any better because she was somehow led to believe that porn is just a man's way of expressing his sexuality. That's what Satan does: he leads people astray through lies, and that is one piece of evidence that he is getting a grip on many people.
This was a shocking cultural experience, what I saw and what we talked about, and it is very important as an ambassador of Christ to help awaken the ideas of the meaning, morality, life, love, and ultimately, truth.
