These cookies don't know much about the future, but they do know about good jokes.

What does your future hold?

For centuries, humanity has tried all sorts of methods to have access to the mysterious knowledge of the future. Whoever has access to such knowledge has the power to control it. Maybe knowing all about what's coming doesn't mean you have the power to change it, but humanity is eager to find out either way. Who can blame us? Our attempts at prediction are simply a reflection of one of our greatest fears: the unknown. The constant uncertainty of what our lives will transform into. The lack of control over what will happen to us. I have to admit it is scary indeed. But it can also be an opportunity to let ourselves be open to the endless possibilities that the future holds. I would do us a favor to celebrate what we don't know, and to enjoy the uncertainties of life for what they are: surprises that will test us, reward us, or comfort us. In any case, these are the surprises that will transform us into whomever we will end up being.

That's why, from very well-designed cards to all sorts of rituals, we clearly have a craze for preparing for what's coming and trying to figure out what that is beforehand. Fortune cookies are exactly that: yet another practice that tries to push us closer to the unanswered questions of what is yet to come in our lives. They're even better than most methods, however. Not because they're somehow more accurate or precise, but because the future comes accompanied by an excellent sugary treat. What better dessert than a tasty cookie and a piece of knowledge of what to expect in the days to come?
