ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Gymnosophy

Gymnosophy is a big word that means the practice of living without any clothes on your body. Now, for most people, wearing clothes is very important because it helps protect our bodies from the weather and also it makes us feel comfortable around other people. But there are some people who feel that wearing clothes is not important and that it is better to live without them. These people are called gymnosophists.

Now, it is important to keep in mind that gymnosophists are not just running around naked all the time. They usually live in special places called nudist colonies where everyone is allowed to be without their clothes. Although it may seem strange to many people, nudist colonies are very peaceful and people there don't care about how others look without clothes.

But, like I said earlier, most people prefer to wear clothes and that's why it is not very common to find gymnosophists. They are kind of like a minority group that have a different way of thinking about clothes and their importance. It's okay to have different thoughts and opinions about things and gymnosophy is just one such example.
