have you been naked lately?

As the hoo-haa over SarongPartyGirl's bared chest abates, and the loud minority find themselves drowned out by her supporters, it is timely that we address the question of nudity. Not nakedness but nudity...

nakedness: Having no clothing on the body; nude.


nudity: Having no clothing; naked.

Err...right.... thanks for that very helpful definition...

Maybe this definition of nudity is slightly better:

An unclothed human figure, especially an artistic representation

Of all of God's creations. the human body is definitely the finest. Definitely better than any sunset or sunrise, or any mountain view, or any river. Although some may beg to differ, it is indeed beautiful.

But sadly though the reality for most of us is that our bodies are too fat/thin/short/long...the list goes on. We are conditioned to hate our bodies and by extention ourselves. We are inculcated with a belief that nakedness is dirty and unsuitable for young eyes. I even know of young girls who have never actually seen their own genitalia, or so they claimed. Such are the depths to which our culture has made us ignorant to the beauty that each and everyone of us possess within ourselves. We are conditioned to treat nudity as sin. Good boys and girls do not look at the naked human form lest they go blind.



I find that SPG's picture's were a celebration of her blossoming sexuality and were never meant to titillate or to be construed to be in any way obscene. But the perverts among us chose to focus unnecessarily on an exposed nipple and sounded the alarm of the impending collapse of society as we know it.

Of course the fact that she was a singaporean made all the difference in the world. If it was someone of a different nationality it would have been accepted as the art that it was. But since it was a young singaporean girl, it became porn and a nation rose in unison to condemn her for her crime. It is funny how nary a day goes by that we hear some pseudo-celebrity comment on SPG's picture(s). It is like overnight everyone has become a critic.

Anyway...what was my point...ohh...I forget...sometimes...
