People who wear clothes: the Emperor

That good old emperor and his new clothes...

He wore clothes, right?

Or he thought he did, anyway...

The classic little tale of pretending to know what's going on, of going along with what other people say because they are really convincing, and you're afraid of looking stupid.

If you want a slightly odd animated picture of Hans Christian Andersen to read you the tale himself, you can go to good old youtube

So many people and ideas have been reminding me of this story lately... I ask myself if people really know what they're wearing, or if they've had some 'new clothes' woven for them by others....

Do we need a little kid to come point out the truth to us all? I think we do. In so many ways...

In the mean time, let's all make sure we're fully dressed before we go out. For real.
