Default Re: Why do I read fortune cookies?

I don’t believe it’s going to come true, so why do I bother reading that scrap of paper?

Everyone would like to know what the future will bring. You might be an atheist but that doesn't mean that you have lost all hope for a bright future. A fortune cookie says something good is going to happen to you. Phsycologically that's a nice thought, even if you know it has little or no chance of coming true. When I say little I mean sometimes coincidence happens for no other reason than what is predicted is possible. And who is to say that the pleasant thought in the fortune cookie doesn't in some way influence your behavior however slightly that you somehow make the prediction come true yourself. Afterall people are weird you know.
