Baring the Body vs Baring the Soul

MrBishop · 04-20-2005, 02:48 PM

Which would you find easier. Baring your body in front of complete strangers or baring your soul in front of these same strangers? *Mixed crowd, male/female/young/old/different races/religions*

By baring your soul, I mean talking to them about everything that makes you laugh, cry, shiver and shake, get angry and undure misery etc...

By baring your body, I mean removing all of your clothing and standing there for their inspection, horns, warts and all.

Think about it...aren't I mean?

Isn't this a little like asking "If you could only let one person live, would it be your mom or your dad?"

Kinda...but in this case, you are facing the consequences instead of someone else.

Doh--I forgot to answer in my first post because I was so busy being a smart-ass

.

I'd rather bear my soul, really. Well, actually it depends on if I had to tell them EVERYTHING about myself :P. I have a FEW secrets I'd rather keep!

Body clearly. its just skin and flesh. the soul is a near impossibility.

I think that by "baring the soul," he means answering truthfully and completely every question asked of you. Or just telling the most intimate (to you) parts of your life. I think that answering the question depends a great deal upon what the person's past is. Perhaps a fairly accurate rephrasing of the question might be, "how innocent are you?"

I've grown up pretty sheltered. For me, baring the soul would be easier.

Bish, you sure are a repetative little so and so innit?

Said it before and I'll say it again - BODY.

Yes I am... I like getting answers or delving the minds of people on different boards. Especially the tough questions... gives me a better idea of the flavour of a board than any amount of lurking can do

Watch me do it again

For it would be baring the bdy. I find it very hard to talk to people about my personal feelings, even if it is my famly or closest friends.
