On 1st April people indulge in fooling you around. They lie, play jokes and mock in the name of fun and entertainment. Ironically, giving the ugly tradition of uttering lies a new name is known to have caused great harm to many. Still this dishonest tradition is not only practised among the common masses, but also newspapers and magazines participate in it by publishing false news and untrue stories on the first day of April! Much is said about the origin of this practice, however what concerns the most to the sensible and responsible citizens is that it is a tradition which directly contradicts the teachings and morals of all religions. To lie is a characteristic of hypocrites and gives no benefit to the humanity, so let’s decide to say a big no to this evil practice and thus save ourselves from falling in sins.
