Concepts of Man 5-17-11

There are many things we take for granted in our lives.  Most often we don’t question them, sometimes I do.  I call these concepts of man.

Why do we wear clothing, and should or would people wear clothing if the world was warm all the time?  Do we wear clothing to keep us warm or is it for modesty?  When I was in my 20’s and fit, and sitting in a University lecture hall filled with young women, I used to wonder about the necessity for clothing.   My body was perfect and so were most of the women in my classes;  I had nothing to be ashamed of, so was clothing necessary I asked myself?

In my 20’s clothing probably wasn’t always necessary, but in my 40’s it is.  The question returned to my mind today as I was standing behind an attractive woman in very revealing clothing at the post office.  The question was quickly answered as soon as I pictured myself without clothes.
