Eros will have naked bodies; Friendship naked personalities.
- C. S. Lewis
It would seem that the reality of the world is that I shouldn't speak everything so nakedly, meaning openly and bluntly. People's feelings will get hurt. Yet it feels wrong to not be able to be so open when communicating, to have to tailor speech to account for the state of others.
I'm not ashamed. Adam and Eve were naked in the Garden of Eden, weren't they? When they sinned, they put on clothes.
