The human form is sacred for us because it bears the stamp of our embodiment. The wilful desecration of the human form, has become, for many people, a kind of compulsion. And this desecration is also a denial of love. It is an attempt to remake the world as though love were no longer a part of it.  And that, surely, is what is the most important characteristic of the postmodern culture: it is a loveless culture, which is afraid of beauty because it is disturbed by love.
