Cloth

We tie or hang cloth upon ourselves to hinder the touch of the outdoors and to prevent the glare of others upon our precious skin. As if it were a unique piece of delicate art, vulnerable to erosion through others' sight. As if our bodies were so confidential, or so embarrassing, that we could not bear others to know. As if others did not already know what we hold inside our veils.

Modesty - another justification. Cover up for the sake of others, so they will not be disturbed. What, are we that ugly? Are they that sensitive?

So it seems they have become.

Disclaimer: Many clothes do look pretty and/or elegant.
