I DON’T MEAN just that organ that wraps around the rest of you to keep it all contained. It is pretty much an accepted fact that few of us are comfortable with that skin and what it contains. Too big here, too small there, blotches, freckles, age spots, wrinkles, and more. No, most of us have been conditioned to not like our physical skin and the shape of it’s contents. Thus we spend billions of dollars every year to tuck it up, cream it down, paint it and color it, rub all manner of things on it, and even inject it with chicken fat. More often than not, after all that effort and money we still don’t like it though.
But, what about your emotional and physiological skins? Those containers that wrap around the non-physical aspects of our “selves”. Those hidden and internal skins contain the real us. They are our thoughts, our dreams, our hidden desires, and the motives behind what we say and do. They are our ethics, morality, truth level, and honesty. Those are the skins that are important and define us.
Are you comfortable in you hidden skins? How often should we inspect those interior skins for blemishes, sagging parts, wrinkles, and blisters? How often do you do that?
