Why Would You?

You expose yourself in complete nakedness. I’m not  referring to the exposure of your physical body rather the clothed aspects of your mental and emotional wellbeing. Hidden behind the walls or boundaries meant to protect your true self, without hesitation those protections fall. 

​The manner in which you communicate is now different as you ask questions which will hopefully reveal more of yourself. Every word you offer and every thought which races through your mind are meant to increase vulnerability allowing the entrance of whose embrace you have resisted. 

Why would you choose to be naked? Why would you choose to reveal the innermost parts of yourself with the possibility of being abandoned and broken? 

Why would you choose love? 

I imagine we choose love because the alternative is becoming a person who is dispassionate and psychopathic. An individual who has closed the self off to the world and all of the beautiful tragedies which create empathy. The alternative is an individual in his or her own personal perdition. A life absent of love is pain and suffering consuming the individual and in time rolling like a devastating agony upon the lives others.​
Why should you love? You should love because the joy and pain found in the experience is a far greater expression of human dignity than the agony of remaining clothed.
