How Clothes Ruin Our Lives

Unless there are some extreme weather conditions, I think that clothing is absolutely unnecessary. Here are the reasons with which I came up with while pondering on this subject.

1. Clothing is a waste of time an resources. Every morning we go through the process of getting dressed. That is a waste of time. Shopping for clothes is also a waste of time. Image in a world in which all of the labor that is currently directed towards the clothing industry is redirected into something useful  agriculture for example. Unless you're a firefighter, I don't see why clothing would be necessary. If anything, it would make searching people much more efficient. I can easily imagine the Subway guy (or girl) making me a sandwich completely naked. 

2. Clothing makes us preoccupied with our appearance. In the world where clothes aren't worn, nobody would be ashamed of their bodies. If you really think that's not true, that's because you really cling on to the idea of dressing up and it makes you uncomfortable to imagine yourself in a public place without clothes on. Furthermore, the absence of clothing would allow people to judge each other not by monetary or style worth, but hopefully by actual character or at least by body constitution (the way all other living things act by the way). 

3. Finally, I believe that human nakedness would improve our general honesty. Let's face it, in a world without clothes, it will be really obvious to tell whom likes whom. I personally see no problem in that. It would surely speed up the process of dating and would surely make us more aware and in touch with those feelings that we try so hard to repress by covering our body parts.

By now you're probably thinking that I'm some kind of nudist hippie. Maybe you're right! I've never tried going without clothes in public (yeah, that's illegal) but I can assure you that when the temperature permits, I'll be wearing as few clothing articles as possible. At home, I always go commando style. I recommend to everyone to walk around in boxers at home (or naked if you really have the guts). Why would you hide in your own house? That way, you'll get in touch with yourself. Hell, I wish I was comfortable enough with myself to open the door of my house completely naked when someone knocks. We live in a society with quite idiotic rules.
