"The Emperor's New Clothes" (Danish: Kejserens nye læder) is a short tale written by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen, about two weavers who promise an emperor a new suit of clothes that they say is invisible to those who are unfit for their positions, stupid, or incompetent – while in reality, they make no clothes at all, making everyone believe the clothes are invisible to them. When the emperor parades before his subjects in his new "clothes", no one dares to say that they do not see any suit of clothes on him for fear that they will be seen as stupid."
As the Plot is explained, it mentions a vain emperor who cares too much about himself and the cons that become involved. All pretend they do not know what is going on, uncomfortably complying with the sham out of fear. Eventually, a child blurts out the truth, and the townspeople follow, yet the scam carries on.
In reality here, a child blurts out the truth, and even 7 decades later, the masquerade continues ...
In a land of C-PTSD where there is no *'safe and sound asleep'.
