National Tell a Lie Day

If on April 4, National Tell a Lie Day, you tell a lie, it is welcomed! Everyone tries the role of a liar and gets an additional opportunity for fun. A good poker bluff is considered a high-level skill. In everyday life, deliberate deception is sometimes acceptable. To remain a polite, tactful person, it is sometimes necessary to conceal the truth. This holiday is a chance to lie and not feel remorse—a psychotherapy session, effective and free!

History

“Everyone lies,” says Dr. Gregory House in the famous TV series. The human need to use imagination and tell fictional stories gave the world artistic fiction. Deceivers have become heroes of mythology, bringing trouble and creating schemes. In 1881, Italian children’s writer Carlo Collodi published his fairy tale. The main character became a symbol: when the boy lied, his nose grew longer. Gradually, the archetype transformed; a vengeful, cruel villain from the comic book universe took the place of the harmless bully. The Joker is the liar’s infernal incarnation, deftly manipulating others.
