Wrong place at the wrong time

When I wrote about standing at the wrong place at the wrong time, I didn’t realise that there could be a further reason. I think it follows the bikini logic, where less is more.

When going shopping with my wife, I always find that I’m standing in the wrong place at the wrong time. Maybe, it’s not me standing in the way of the bag, the dress or the lingerie. It’s because I’m hiding parts of those items, which makes them stand out, or makes the people around me want to see more of those items, just like wearing a bikini.

If everyone’s naked, there won’t be an urge to “see more”. Maybe this is the way for a more peaceful world. A naked world where there’s nothing to hide. I wonder if that’s the logic of the naturists…
