"Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled."
Titus 1:15
I think that this is interesting, that purity rests largely within our perspective. When we are doing well, then we are more likely to see the good all around us, and rejoice in it, and see the good in other people... but the worse we are doing, the more we are unable to see through the dark cloud, and we doubt the goodness around us, and see the bad in other people. When we sin we damage our perspectives as well, and that is a hard thing to overcome... just like the sin itself. It's hard to teach ourselves to see better. When we feel better about ourselves... pure and clean... it's easier to feel good about others and feel good about life and God and all his creations. :) It is easier to see the hope and know how to improve. Today, let's try to be pure, and keep the spirit with us, with a clear mind and conscience, so that we can see more clearly.
