Why clothes? Not a naughty question
Why do you wear clothes? My female friends invariably accuse me of having naughty thoughts when I pose this question. Well, I am forced to clarify that I have no interest in stripping people so that I can do stuff that most people do when they take off their clothes. My question is- Why do we, human beings as a race, wear clothes? Have you seen any other animal wearing clothes?
Have you seen any other living being make use of natural and artificial things to cover the body? Well, most of my friends come up with the explanation that clothes are essential because our skin is sensitive and will suffer when exposed to the harsh elements of nature. Well, where is the question of being exposed to nature when you are in a room with an air conditioner and a dehumidifier running simultaneously?
When you work in a conditioned environment, why exactly do you need to wear clothes? This is the reason why I laugh whenever people try to come up with this protection against nature argument. The funny thing is that even the poorest of the poor spend money purchasing clothes. People go in for cheap fitted wardrobes but will never skip the option to save money.
From the richest person on the planet to the poorest person - each and every person finds it essential to wear clothes at all times. Call me silly or plain crazy but I really believe that we wear clothes simply because we are conditioned to do so. This is a cultural thing that has almost become a part of our genetic makeup. The fact remains that nature has given us the skin and we have sufficient control over nature to ensure that the harsh outer elements do not affect us badly. So my question remains – why clothes?
