Leaving the rest of the world be.

I try to get people to go naked into the world. Without shame. Being their true selves. Without embarrassment. Doesn't matter what other people think. But maybe that's impractical. It matters. Because people are unfairly judgmental.  That's reality. The way the world and society function. I like to pretend. That I live in an ideal world.  When I know better.  I'm willing to take more risks. Than most people. Others want to play it more safe.  And I can't blame them. They would rather hide. Behind facades. Or wear masks. I wonder. If that's what I should do. Go into hiding. Retreat to my cocoon. And leave the rest of the world be. --Jim Broede
