I mean they could be real, but I feel like they are usually just generic statements that can apply to everyone.
However, the fortune cookies from today were crazy accurate.
Earlier today I was at a chinese restaurant with my grandma. At the end of our meal we both got a fortune cookie. I got: "You will step on the soil of many countries." Lately I have been frequently researching and considering many travel destinations. Last night I finally settled on going to Brazil this summer and Austria next winter (2015). The fact that I got this fortune was pretty coincidental.
But it gets more freaky. My grandma's fortune cookie read: "Someone is looking up to you. Don't let this person down." Lately I have been telling my grandma about a certain topic and giving her advice. I keep stressing to her the importance of this advice. Even at the dinner table I was trying to get her to understand how vital it is for her. It's really bizzare how relevant and timely the fortune cookie was to the current situation. Unfortunately she didn't catch the relevance but it wasn't lost on me.
What are your thoughts? Does a fortune cookie really apply to the person that gets it? Or are they just a ploy to make you think that? Tough question that may never be solved!
I usually don't.
