The Emperor was a rich extravagant man who had a passion for fine
wears. His desires made him drunk of the wine of stupidity and so
became the target of con artists who sought to exploit a great and
wealthy man. Like all Kings, he had a following of people, some common,
few representatives, who worked for him. But the story is really about
Hypocrisy and fear. Because nobody of all the kingdom decided in
themselves to be honest and think critically they were all deceived
even though they knew something was wrong. Fear blinded them from
truth.Nobody wanted to stand alone and be true to their conscience
because of fear of rejection.
Society is so much like
this story. They say that one fool makes many; and nobody likes to look
into things anymore but only to follow and not question what they
follow. You can say that the people accepted the Emperors New Clothes
based on false faith because in reality they didnt see anything but
were too coward to admit it. And Just like the emperor, their are many
leaders in the world who mislead their followers through manipulation
and fear. They make up lies and false stories which they themselves
dont believe because they have a hidden agenda. They deceive the masses
of people. And because most of the people have little knowledge and
experience they discard common sense and follow illusions.
Luckily
for those people there was a child among them who was innocent of fear
and responsibility and care. He only saw the world as it appeared and
he spoke the TRUTH. If anyone in that kingdom spoke their mind, they
might have lost a job, position or wealth. The child had nothing to
lose.
Remember this, a lie repeated long enough and
accepted by many can become a truth- ignorance. There is power in
numbers and the influence of one is far reaching
