Adam and Eve
Many people have had the dream; the one where they leave for work, school, or any other public place, only to realize that they forgot to put on some clothing. They then run, in shame and embarrassment, to the nearest hiding place. People seem to have an innate fear of being naked, and so they cover their bodies, some more so than others, so that no one can see what lies beneath. Adam and Eve were the first to experience this self consciousness. They had lived in the Garden of Eden for some time in a state of ignorant bliss, until they ate of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. In convincing Eve that she could eat the fruit, the serpent said “For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil” (Genesis 3:5). Eve wanted to know this Godly wisdom. In an attempt to become more like God, Adam and Eve ate of the Tree of Knowledge. In doing so, however, they came to see how far they actually were from being gods, and ran to hide the things which linked them the most to the earthly world; their bodies. When God created Eve in Genesis 2, she and Adam had no shame with respect to their nakedness. “And the man and his wife were both naked, and were not ashamed” (Genesis 2:25).
