NAKED AND UNASHAMED

Consider the awkwardness most of us felt when changing in the locker room when we were teenagers in gym class, the embarrassment of baring yourself in front of your peers mingled with your curiosity about how your developing body compared to theirs. Or even the odd moment as adults when you’re changing in the locker room in front of a friend or someone you know—what will they think of you standing there naked before them with nothing to hide behind?

Naked before his friend with his assets and liabilities fully exposed, Jonathan likely wondered what each of us wonders—how would his friend respond? From the baring of bellies to the displaying of birthmarks, real friendship eventually requires an open, unveiled view of who the other really is—a transparency that is critical if a comfortable relationship is to be attained. The reason we are wary of being exposed in front of other people often centers around our intense need to pretend in their presence. But what you really need is a friend with whom you have developed such trust that you can let it all hang out, so to speak. Otherwise the relationship is just one more responsibility that requires you to put on a mask, suit up in your armor, or wear a disguise for acceptance and approval. Simply stated, these relationships, with their stringent requirements, are too much work with too little reward for those men who have no time for the games.
