Many people are actually blind to the fact that it is in these very "interests of society" (or, I should say, in "the interests of the kind of society we would like to have on this Earth") - i.e. to have a transparency, honesty, integrity, equality and non-judgmental complete acceptance of others, with no exceptions - that we do what we do. The body is a vehicle for promoting this view.
I think it is the freedom inherent in such a society that people are afraid of. It may seem ironic to be afraid of freedom, but the more I think about it, the more it seems to make sense to me.
When slavery was abolished, a shackle on the world was broken. When women were finally allowed to vote, another shackle was broken. And so we continue to fight, in the hope that eventually, every shackle is broken. The fight for freedom has been going on for longer than anyone can remember, but as long as there are those who would stand in the way of that freedom, we have to keep going - there is no other option.
