here is a thought.
why is it taboo for someone to be naked in public. if "its indecent' is your answer,why do we feel like its indecent. What harm does it do to us? what about homosexuality or transgendered peoples? why do we set ideals on what a woman or man should be or act. Or why one person can only love one other person, or only have sexual relations with one other person, and why we have to be jealous and possessive of our lover. why is instant fame and attention a result of how much currency we have to our name? why are people who are unkept and untidy also looked down upon? What about taking a dump in public, or having sex in public? aside from the mess it sometimes leaves, why is it considered obscene and wrong? Why are mean to those who are less "attractive"? why are we so uptight about nudity violence and self-expression especially in america? Or what about those who have imagination and silliness and wackiness. WHy is that looked down upon and structure discipline and status-quo glorified?
why racism or the importance of politeness or how good we are at dancing? why all these ideals. Im sure a lot of them surfaced as a result of religion, but why would we choose to constrain our freedoms as human beings?
I feel like the hippies had it right in the late 60's and 70's. Free love, renouncement of material objects, stripping down the ideals of what should be, to lay bare the notion that people can just be.
