Born Naked

and we die naked.

In the whole wide world, we are the only species that invented clothes for cosmetic reasons. I doubt aliens wear clothes either (maybe functional suites for protection). Humans are so caught up with their appearances that they try to mask every flaw they have. In other words, humans are insecure beings. Every single one of us, deep down our hearts, is just a playful child (ego). Just that we don’t let it out to play because of societal norms. When we grow up, we hide our inner child and “act” like a grown up.

I don’t understand what is wrong with our bodies, we come in different shapes and sizes but that doesn’t make us any different. We are still human. I believe the day when the human race unites as one is the day we are not concerned with any inequalities. Social class, skin colour, birth right… they are all just made up terms to make us feel “special” about ourselves and label the rest as inferiors.

We are similar to animals. We hunt for food, breed to reproduce and fight for territories. Humans are promiscuous, they mate with several partners over their lifetime. It is only due to the introduction of marriage for the societal reasons (the family unit to raise up kids) that humans curb their urges and resort to underground methods to satisfy them. That is why there is a demand for porn, prostitution and one night stands.

Our civilization has deteriorated over the times. The rise and fall of monarchies have lead to a disillusioned race. With the onset of the industrial revolution and economy, we think that we are prosperous, only to feel empty within. There is this sense of lost of purpose when everyone is racing against time for some unknown reason.
