Little surprises in the news everyday ... this CBC news story reminded me of the Nasreddin Hodja story, "Eat, My Coat, Eat," so I've included it below. The Prophecy of Ra Mu also mentions this materialistic obsession with appearances - also added before the article.

Eat, My Coat, Eat

The Hodja was invited to a banquet. Not wanting to be pretentious, he wore his everyday clothes, only to discover that everyone ignored him, including the host. So he went back home and put on his fanciest coat, and then returned to the banquet. Now he was greeted cordially by everyone and invited to sit down and eat and drink.

When the soup was served to him he dunked the sleeve of his coat into the bowl and said, "Eat, my coat, eat!"

The startled host asked the Hodja to explain his strange behavior.

"When I arrived here wearing my other clothes," explained the Hodja, "no one offered me anything to eat or drink. But when I returned wearing this fine coat, I was immediately offered the best of everything, so I can only assume that it was the coat and not myself who was invited to your banquet."

"You shall all die together with your servants and your riches, and from your ashes new nations shall arise. If they forget they are superior, not because of what they put on, but what they put out, a similar fate will befall them." (scroll down the page)

And, finally, the CBC News hoodie story, which includes dressing up as a politician for Hallowe'en, so it might be a good idea to go to the link for the pictures.

Quebec MNA walks out of legislature after being criticized for wearing a hoodie

Quebec Solidaire's Catherine Dorion left after colleagues complained about her attire

Québec Solidaire MNA Catherine Dorion chose to leave the National's Assembly's blue room on Thursday morning because her clothing — an orange hoodie — was deemed inappropriate by some of her colleagues.

Some MNAs asked the president of the National Assembly, François Paradis, to intervene because they believed the representative from Taschereau did not respect the decorum and dress code given at the opening of parliamentary proceedings.

When QS co-spokesperson Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois informed Dorion of the complaints, she decided to leave.

"We told Catherine this, and she was distressed," said Nadeau-Dubois. "Because she wanted to avoid the issue being blown out of proportion, she decided to leave."

Dorion was spotted wearing the exact same orange hoodie during debate in the National Assembly on Sept. 25.
This is only the latest spat over Dorion's attire and decorum since her election in 2018.

Dorion has defended her work attire publicly, which has included tank tops, boots, tuques and running shoes.

She also made headlines last week when she posted a photo of herself sitting on a desk in the legislature's red room — a chamber reserved for official ceremonies — "dressed up" as a politician in business attire with the words "Happy Halloween."
