While growing up, we all placed our trust in people who turned away from us. Some left us, while others deceived us in minor or significant ways. But deception, betrayal, and ungratefulness are not things in the modern world. Backstabbing has been present through the centuries.
Marcus Brutus, who betrayed his dearest friend, Julius Caesar, is well-known. So, why dedicate a day to the backstabber? It is to remind people to be aware of people who are nice to their faces but hide an ulterior motive.
History of “National Brutus Day”
Ruth and Thomas Roy of Wellcat Holidays established National Brutus Day. The day reminds us that backstabbing is still a concern of the modern-day world and is present in our society.
From the Shakespearean days to now, we still fall free to backstabbers. Brutus, who was a dear friend of Julius Caesar, stabbed him with a knife from his back.
When Caesar turned and saw Brutus’s face, he was shaken from the core and uttered the infamous lines – “Et tu Brute?” Often, the people we adore and consider our friends are not. Although they might act friendly and loving in front of us, they might have different ideologies and ambitions that can lead them to backstab us at any moment.
How do you celebrate National Brutus Day?
Keep yourself on high alert around people. Judge people by their actions and not words. Everyone can talk of bringing the stars and moon, but very few will cross an ocean to save you in need!
You are probably right in most cases if you have a negative feeling about a person. It should be best to keep your distance from them and be cautious.
Educate yourself on staying away from toxic and harmful people in life.
Use the day as an opportunity to cut off people who bring harm to you. Cleanse your life from these people.
Always remember to show gratitude to the genuine people in your life and hold onto them.
