Fool's Paradise Day
About Fool's Paradise Day
When is Fool's Paradise Day? This holiday is always celebrated on July 13
As you awaken this morning, are you in a tropical island paradise? Are you in a wonderland or a land of bliss? Or, is it all just a dream? Fool’s Paradise Day is today, a July 13 holiday. I don’t know about you, but if it’s a dream, don’t wake me up.
Heaven, Utopia, Shangri-La, Nirvana, and the Garden of Eden are all great places to be. But, Fool’s Paradise? Perhaps, not so good. You may be fooled into thinking it’s a world of heavenly bliss until you open your eyes and see a situation for what it is. Even if you’re on sipping on a Pina Colada while on vacation on a tropical island, you’d be foolish to think the vacation will never end.
This special day seems a bit like an oxymoron. How can a fool reach, or experience, Paradise? And, how could a place BE Paradise, if fools inhabit the place? We don’t know the answers to these important questions. One can only speculate, as we have yet to find the creator of this special day. We will leave the philosophical thought about this day to you the reader.
In the meantime………………
Have a wonderful Fool’s Paradise Day!
