Sunday - Fathers Day - Reality

Image may contain: 2 people

It says on Wikipedia this about Sunday..."Sunday is the day of the week between Saturday and Monday. Sunday is a day of rest in most Western countries, as a part of the weekend and weeknight.
For most observant Christians, Sunday is observed as a day of worship and rest, holding it as the Lord's Day and the day of the Christ's resurrection. In some Muslim countries and Israel, Sunday is the first work day of the week. According to the Hebrew calendar and traditional Christian calendars, Sunday is the first day of the week.[1] But according to the International Organization for Standardization ISO 8601,
 Sunday is the seventh day of the week" 


All of these with their differences share one commonality. Sunday is a man made illusion. We, humans, have named the days of the week often after particular deities. The days of the week exist only for us not the rest of our fellow animals. There is nothing holy about any one day unless all days are holy as the sun rises and then sets. 

Fathers Day is another illusion. It was invented in the Middle Ages to celebrate a child's love for its parent. The monstrosity that exists today has more relevance for consumerism, for capitalism than it has anything to do with an offsprings love of their father. If we love our father surely we love them every hour of the day, every day of the week? I love my father still even though he died in 1988.

God bless you Dad. Love you forever.
