Humiliation Day

Humiliation Day is an important date aimed at improving society. Unfortunately, the planet is inhabited not only by kind, but also by embittered people who are used to mocking others. We remind you: no one has the right to humiliate a person. On this holiday, everyone should reflect on their behavior!

History

Over the long years of American history, dignitaries have thought of a similar holiday. In 1775, the US Congress issued a decree on fasting, stopping public humiliation, and praying for the English colonies. Four years later, George Washington called for action. However, the tradition was almost forgotten afterward. In 1863, Abraham Lincoln asked the Senate to revive the holiday, and it worked out. Today it is widely by those who know about it.

The day calls to remember that humiliation negatively affects a person. Sometimes events become tragic: people with a weak psyche commit suicide if their words hurt them to the core. With the advent of the Internet, it has become more difficult: it is easy to meet toxic people online who can spoil your mood in a few minutes of communication. Well, today is their chance to improve!

Interesting Facts
