Fortune Cookies
Our lives have been very busy lately and we seem to be eating a lot of take-out Chinese food. Along with the food we always get fortune cookies. I received 2 interesting fortunes. “The saints are the sinners who keep on trying” and “The best exercise for the heart is to reach down and help someone up”. Both of these messages sounded very familiar. So, I decided to Google them. Of course there were many hits for both quotes. The first one seemed to be mostly attributed to Robert Louis Stevenson. The second quote looked like a slight variation of a quote attributed to Jesse Jackson “Never look down on anybody unless you're helping him up.” I have no way of knowing if both gentlemen are the first to come up with the ideas in the quotes or if they read them in a fortune cookie. What I do know is that both messages should be very meaningful to all of us in our every day lives.
