April Fool

Today is 1st April 2010, a day that people will try to make a fool with others. While nothing serious but more towards fun-filled happenings is the order of the Day, some ugly happenings evolved caused the lost of money, life, friendship and injuries were occurred some time.

We might cause some excitement amongst friends in conveying a happy message or we might create anxiety and worries if a bad message was told. Whatever it is, to me it should not have encroaching and disturbing the normal life of a person.

Some friends jokingly told me that we do not need to celebrate the April Fool Day as most of us, if not all the fool himself/herself everyday or even to fool around with people most of the time. We lie to others almost everyday. When we are late for appointment or attending a dinner, we always blame the traffic congestion. When a man is having outing in an entertainment premise or the mamak shop for a glance on the football match, he will always tell the wife that he is having an important business appointment. When we are caught by enforcement agencies for wrong doings such as illegal parking, speeding, offending traffic instruction, we will always pledge our ignorance rather than guilt. When we blame others for being less environmental friendly, we are in fact have done the same by parking our car on the grass land, by discharging our kitchen waste water onto the drain directly, by smoking openly at the public area, by switching on the lights conveniently without due consideration on saving and many others. So, is that necessary to have a special Day to celebrate despite of us not telling the truth in almost everyday.

Happy April Fool.
