I believe much of what you are saying has merit. But I also believe you missed many of the points the article was exposing. This is not an uncommen reaction to something that many people find confrontational.

It was not meant to portrait how you would compare yourself to others in a “nude” world. Your reaction does point out that this is how most people are likely to react is the situation actually occurred. So, thank you for pointing out a good relalvency. Beyond that, people would react in many ways at first. But after a reasonably short time the whole thing would be a bit blaise.

What if you had 2 purses. To anyone but an expert they are identical. One costs thousands because it is made by a famous “name”. The other is a knock-off that only costs a few bucks. To the average person viewing the two, there would be no difference. It is only to the person that has spent thousands, or just a few bucks to get it, that knows what the difference is.

This represents your personal psychology. You are worth what you believe you are worth. Nothing more, nothing less. Your belief in your self-worth relates to what you attract to yourself. If you don’t believe you are worth much, then you will not expect to see many good things coming your way. You can easily miss opportunities as they pass you by.

I read your articles. They help me to see things in a different light, to change my point of view . I am very gratefull to you for what you are doing!

I decided to react to this article. I have been thinking of equity and inequity, good and evil, truth and lie, right and wrong for a long time. I would like to present my conclusion here.

I will start with your article. I imagine all people are naked. I see a huge difference between the thin and fat, colour of skin becomes even more apparent than ever before, the old people look old, wrinkled, with dry fragile skin from hat to toe, and the ill people will look really disgusting in comparison to the ones who are well fed, well built, who have good care of their skin, take regular excercise – simply said those who are wealthy. Clothing is just a small trick that hides our flaws and keeps us from rising negative assumptions in other people. I look like a common european woman in my clothes. Without clothes I would look like underweight, ill body with a disgusting skin inflamation which is past cure. Nudity will not erase the differences between races, wealth, age, etc. – it will even deepen these differences!

What if we imagined people wearing the same uniform – would this make all people equal and contribute to a fair world? I doubt it. There will be those in a clean, well ironed, pleasantly smelling uniform, with latest fashion hairstyle, assertive smile and keys from a Ferrari and ones whose uniforms shows marks of spending night on the street…

It is not possible to hide differences between races, wealth, age, etc. Because WE ARE different. There will always be the ones who are more competitive, more proud, more creative and those who are quieter, modest, etc. These differences lead the mankind forwards /mostly/, they result in original inventions, discoveries, art. It is not possible to make a working class hero or a farmer out of everyone.

I think people will always differ. The differences will always bring (negative) assumptions and lead to the unfair world. But if there is no possibility of making all people equal, what is a fair world then? What is the meaning of fair and unfair? Do you imagine the same picture of equity as I do? I don´t think so. Manytimes I try to act perfectly fairly to others but they complain, they are not satisfied with my actions. Something that is fair/right/true in my point of view is unfair/wrong/lie for others. It is because our perception, understanding and amount of knowledge differs. There is NO EXACT OBJECT to imagine under the word “FAIR” (“TRUTH”, “RIGHT”, etc.). It is my very personal image of the term based on my personal situation, knowledge, feelings. You can´t mistake a car for a ski and a chair for a bread. But we can mistake right for wrong…we do so very often even if we try to be perfectly fair and neutral.

In my point of view the problem is in the terms – the words like FAIR, RIGHT, etc. -itself! So we can´t imagine a fair world. We can just stop judging and perceiving it in terms of equity or inequity. Just to take it as it is. To accept present situation as just the present situation, without commenting it as fair or unfair, good or bad, truth or lie. We just need to erase these words, that have no exact objects from our vocabularies. There is no good and no evil, it is just my perception and my attitude towards some fact. There is only the fact and the way how I deal with it. Not how I describe it.

I hope you don´t find my opinion as a completely wrong unfair lie

Thank you for your attention!

Yours sincerely,

Karina
