Fortune Cookie

I had the good fortune to eat Chinese food for lunch today, and the even better fortune to have gotten from my cookie, well, the best fortune ever:
Your good nature will bring you unbounded happiness.
First off, the fortune flatters, and secondly, it tells me I deserve something precious. I always like it when my food is nice to me!

(Yes, I know this post is vacuous, but it's the best I've got today, and I want to try being more consistent with my posting habits. Plus it made me happy!)

About Me

My photo
Anacredenza is a screen name I made up back when I first joined a debate forum. At that time, I was just about finished figuring out what my beliefs are, and the name, which means 'renewed belief' reflects that. I cannot claim to know everything (not even remotely close!), but I'm now comfortable with what I believe, which I discovered were my deep, though covered-up, thoughts all along, and have therefore been renewed. I may be right, or I may be wrong, but at least now I'm being true to myself. After figuring this out, I went back and talked with people who hold beliefs that I used to share, to test my new (and old) thoughts on the matter. After several years of that, I am much more comfortable with what I believe. I don't care very much about what other people believe any more, as long as they don't use their beliefs to justify harming other people. That said, I care a great deal about how people come to their conclusions - thorough, critical thinking skills are important, and if more people just knew how to think, the whole world could be a much less hostile place.
