Interpretation Model Dimension
False consolation often feels joyful because what is pleasant or expansive can still be attached to the wrong object, wrong reading, or wrong end.

What flatters the ego, excuses escape, or grants false permission may still feel liberating. That is why joy needs testing.
The practical error is not feeling the experience. It is canonizing its meaning too early.
