false feelings

like false flags, false feelings are generated when you think you are supposed to feel a certain way and you actually do not... often it is to conform to a group expression of a certain feeling, like group judgment, group sadness, or group happiness... people seem to want, even need a sense of community, of reassurance that what one feels is ok and right... this external reassurance somehow validates a social contract of normalcy and acceptance, even sanity... the feeling of belonging to the group overrides any sense of self or truth, as self is absorbed into the group thinking and truth becomes the majority thought... if we are lucky, the group finds truth and even at a loss of individual awareness, the natural universe remains in balance... sometimes, though, the group is very wrong and all we can hope for, before communal self-destruction, is that a few open minds remain apart from the group to save us...

it can feel very lonely apart from the group, even though the group is an illusion...
