Watch the Gap: The Shock of Application and Wolves in Sheep's Clothing

Power Stripped Bare

Truth is, I genuinely feel sorry for him. Sorry that he can’t really see the truth concealed by the invisible clothes. Admittedly, it must have been a pretty curious sight for someone who didn’t know what they were looking at: a man, whom everyone calls “King,” stripped bare. Parading down the middle of the street with all the pomp and valour as if he were a military leader returning in triumph from war, naked. … With everyone celebrating his magnificent new clothes! Poor boy. Completely unaware that the scene unfolding before his unsuspecting eyes is really an intricately woven cover-up, designed to hide what was manufactured from nothing in the first place: unequivocal power. For the King’s nudity symbolizes something far more serious, sinister, and base: the unveiling not of the absence of the most beautiful clothes but the underlying presence of the truly ugly impulses of human nature laid bare. He’ll learn, in time. That’s another thing I feel sorry about. Sort of.
