Why we want to see each other naked.

Profound quote:

"Maybe our hunger to know each other fully naked is in the last analysis simply our hunger to know each other fully. I want to know you with all your defenses down, all your pretenses set aside, all your secrets laid bare. Then maybe I will be brave enough to lay myself bare so that at last we can be naked together and unashamed."

- Frederick Buechner

I was unaware of Frederick Buechner. A really refreshing thinker.

I read everything I could by Buechner, but that was twenty years ago . Really refreshing to see him quoted again and quoted here. Thanks.

Makes complete sense. We are so worried about what people think that we have so many defenses up.

Well stated. I have had many a heart to heart conversation while soaking naked with others in a hot tub. A barrier is lowered when we bare our bodies that facilitates honest sharing. With old friends or new ones.

True! When we are naked, we are all in the same social and economic level.

If you don't cover your body, you don't cover your mind and you don't cover your soul.
