Why Good People Do Bad Things book<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Why do good people do bad things? It\u2019s a question that needs to be asked as well as trying to define what is bad. Is it bad to be nude? It depends whom you ask. In the general scheme of things, I doubt that the universe particularly cares if you or I wear or don’t clothing. In spiritual terms, perhaps nudity is the most spiritual way to approach the numinous. Egyptian priests used to shave themselves until they were hairless before they presented themselves before their pantheon of gods and goddesses. In the Garden of Eden, nudity was the exalted state of being. With the lesson that if you hid behind some sort of clothing out of shame for being clothing free, you were kicked out of paradise.<\/p>\n\n\n

Yet, in today\u2019s world, most would claim that being nude outside of the shower or bath verges on the edge of being evil behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The book I am reading by James Hollis examines this idea of why we do things that get us in trouble though he doesn\u2019t talk about nudity. Nudity does get us in trouble with individuals that are close to us and with society in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t have any answers. I just know that to be authentic, to be my real self, I need to embrace nudity. When I took this final photo, I was in a campground in the city of Saskatoon. Was there anyone in the either of these neighbouring camping RVs? It is a question I didn’t have an answer for though I assumed from the lack of trucks or cars that no one was at home. Was I being bad?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
