The reason why one feels precarious when asked to walk on the street naked,
is because our natural body cannot communicate the soul. The clothes and
accessories we wear everyday are mirrors that reflect ourselves, and when
comunicating with others, this "dress code" can be taken as a convenient
resume. If there was only one person living on the earth, he can dress as
he likes.
Then, what if there were two people?

Strong Body Type C
When there are more than one person, people tend to want to control the
other. They forcibly manipulate the eyes of the others to a unifed image
they want to project or not want to project. This way, they settle various
power relationships. Clothes have become something which we cannot take
off. The metal costume formed with a female soul will probably remain even after the body deteriorates. |
