For example those who think baring elbows is a terrible sin and immodest are constantly met with disappointment when they see the "immodest" behavior (in their mind) of some other Christians. However for 99.9% of those Christians in question the fact their elbows are showing never crosses their mind as they do not see that as immodest or a sin.
I will grant you that is an extreme example but the principle is the same. I know OP's so locked into their closed culture that they are hyper sensitive to anything that is beyond their little world. For some of them a 5 second glance at a scantily clad girl walking by in the mall grabs their attention and affects them in a greater way than someone who doesn't give them a second glance because they are engaged in the world on a daily basis.

I was simply trying to restate what I thought the original post was saying.
I don't sigh.
I croak, maybe, but sigh? Nah...
