Are you nude or are you naked?

Which one are you?

That's the dilemma, folks.

There are some of us that are both. 

Why?

Which do you prefer?

I will give you my take on the two because I use both of them as well. However, I use each of them, depending on the context.

Very important to consider!

First, let's all get "open and free." 

WAIT!

What?

What exactly does this mean? 

Nude = Respect for yourself and others

It quite simply means "nude."

But I always have to be different and well outside the box. But allow me to enlighten you about why I call it "open and free."

The reason is, that's exactly how I feel when not concealing my wonderful body that I am proud of. 

I was created in God's image, 

so why would I be ashamed of what he gave me?

Unless he made some mistake when he made us?

OPEN is,

exposing who I really am without hiding behind artificial cloaks that mask my true genuine self. Being open is as honest as I can be to others about who I am.

AND

FREE is,

flying like a bird high above the ground with no restrictions, and not a thing around me to hinder my movements.

 

Now we will "uncover" today's key point.

Why are you ashamed of what you have?

If you know me, then you have probably heard me say,

"I am always nude, but never naked,"

There I go, being peculiar again. 

At this point, you must be asking,

"What's the difference?" 

Well, please allow me to clarify,

First, Nude is....

....tasteful art and showing respect for the human form. 

I have heard of "tasteful nudity," but not tasteful "nakedity." 

Since it's tasteful, this is respect for all concerned, in short, 

 Nude = Tasteful 

Naked just doesn't have the same dignity and respect the same way as nude does. Also, there are nudists and naturists, but no "nakedists." 

Jack Tripper learned the difference between nude and naked from a prospective employer. The guy told him that, "nude is art, naked is dirty."

Now naked, I think of a completely different dynamic. I think of the bible and two people being ashamed. I think of dirty because I have heard of the series, 

"naked and afraid" but not "nude and afraid." 

I believe they used naked to describe the environment they were in. It is very animalistic or primal. It is like being an animal with their instincts, out in the wild, being on the hunt. 

I also feel that naked is more attached to porn, which is very filthy, and what textiles unjustly correlate us, nudists, with. Because ignorant textiles don't have any conception of what we are. They just assume sex as soon as they hear naked.  If they did not equate the two, then being without clothes would not be so taboo and forbidden.

There you have it, put into the simplest terms, the difference between the two:

Nude            and                Naked.

Two entirely different sides of the spectrum.
