Vision? Nary!

You are too pretty. It is very distracting. Please think of others. Remember how you walked past that man the other day and he turned and walked into a wall? You may not realize this, but people do not often walk into walls in everyday life. If they did walls would be padded. Most walls are not padded.

Milton Berle had a padded room in his abode, and he used it often, but its function was non-traditional. Hedonistic, even.

Most padded rooms are made of rubber, but there are other materials available. Color schemes, however, are strictly limited.

When they say “The walls are closing in” they usually fail to mention if the walls are soft.
People tend to prefer soft walls to hard. The only reason more walls and floors are not padded is tradition and stigma.
To hell with tradition.
