Living in our own little worlds where we are king/queen – where the world forever rotates around us, everyone is on our particular time schedule, and our faces are even printed on the money – apparently isn’t just a 21st century delusion! It’s been around for awhile… check this out:
The first celebration of this holiday occurred on June 5, 1945 in Germany. It was exactly one year after D-Day, the day Allied forces landed in Normandy. On the day before D-Day, the Germans wrongly believed no invasion would occur due to poor weather conditions. The first Festival of Popular Delusions Day marked the last day the Nazi’s were able to delude themselves that they would rule the Earth for a thousand years. Very een-teh-rest-ink!
Nowadays, we celebrate this holiday by aligning our beliefs with facts and reality, and by performing a reality check on the popular ideas of the day. In other words, it’s a day to work at making right what is wrong!
