"we (they) go with great expectation of being pleased: we (they) meet others who are brought by the same motives: no one will be the first to own the disappointment: one face reflects the smile of another, till each believes the rest delighted, and endeavours to catch and transmit the circulating rapture. in time all are deceived by the cheat to which all contribute. the fiction of happiness is propagated by every tongue, and confirmed by every look, till at last all profess the joy which they do not feel, and consent to yield to the general DELUSION." samuel johnson 1709-1784 or as pope brock in his book charlatan puts it more succinctly, "a cooperative FANTASY." they both are speaking of fakes,cons,hustlers,rejuvenators but especially of faith healers,preachers! just send your tithes and offerings to.......! hahahaha
