How I See World Nude Day

Eric Zhou
I've never know there is a World Nude Day (WND) before. What does this stand for? Are we not looking ourselves nude each day? Is that not enough? Why should we need such a day?

And when I typed world nude day into the search box of Google, there came over 18m results! And I found more days such as World Nude Gardening Day, World Naked Bike Riding.

What a world! I think to myself.

I've never heard of this before, not to mention celebrating the day. The world is strange and there are a lot of weird things to which even my craziest fancy will surrender.

I saw on the internet tiger man, girls eating feces, son killing mother, father raping daughter. What can be more insane?

However, I do not plan to start with all those things - and I do not have that much time and energy. I shall just take them as they are. And they cannot harm me.

And as regards the WND, it does no harm to others (I mean beholders) or me, despite its weirdness. And then I think to myself, this might be a good way of expressing or releasing oneself. So what's the bad?

I do not like my body. It's thin, not hot. But I do not think I will fear body exposure. It's just body and everybody has it.

And then I ask myself why should human be clad. For keeping off the coldness? For moral consideration? It's a long story and no one can draw the full picture.

So, if people have the need to expose themselves, it's reasonable yet understandable. Remember thousands of years ago our ancestors were wearing nothing but leaves. And even before that their ancestors had nothing to wear at all!

I tell myself, this is a very strange thing to have a world nude day. I would never think of it. However, when someone creates it, you've got to be taking it.

I'm not unprincipled per se. This is an attitude. When something happens not to your likings or previous principles, if you are not able to tell if it is good or bad, just take it. You do not have to follow suit. Just think of this: uhm, there is such a thing in the world.
