April's Fool: Why is it foolish to get tricked?

April Fools: Why is it foolish to get tricked?

Or in other words, what does it mean to be a fool? How do we define intelligence?

Is it more about your interaction with nature, or your interaction with other people? My argument here is that the human which is more adept at understanding the objective reality is less adept at being tricky or expecting trickery.

Oh darn, I forgot ;.; I wanted to do one of my more well-thought-out tricks today.

Time to put sweetner in my sis's tea

I think it's just that the tricks make people look like a fool, 'cause they get shocked by them? Maybe? That's what I always thought at least.

You should ban people while you have the chance.

Even if I sound boring, for me this thing with tricking people on 1st of April is just stupid. The "fun" is ruined by the fact that people realize it is 1st of April and they expect that others try to fool them. I remember a girl I know who got "fooled" like this by a friend of hers who called her and told her that her dad was in a hospital dying and she was so stressed out that needed a therapy for several months.
