The fairy tale about "The Emperor's New Clothes" was a children's fantasy meant to emphasize the value of truth. A child points out that the emperor is NAKED and wearing no clothes. All the adults who had been raving about the beauty of the Emperor's garments were taken aback. They saw what was not there. How is that possible? By suggestion? Wanting so much to believe in something they created it in the mind's eye? Mass hypnosis to which the child was immune? Do you tell the truth ALWAYS even when those around you insist that black is white day is night and rain is pure imagination all concocted for obfuscation by THE ENEMY? The purpose of that is what exactly?
