Nakedness
"Cloth" - a synonym for textile - has the same meaning as "clothe" - to cover. Naked things, like naked people, demand to be covered. In covering nakedness, whether of people or of things, we accomplish these five basic purposes: 1. We protect and insulate 2. We facilitate contact with the world 3. We hide defects and weaknesses 4. We give the appearance we wish to give 5. We decorate - Ernest Dichter
