I just had Chinese food for lunch and couldn’t believe the message in my fortune cookie. No kidding, this is the actual message:
I have to admit it freaked me out a little bit. The day I officially launch this blog, I get this message in a fortune cookie? Maybe I should check into Buddhism.
I did a Google search and found this quote attributed to Søren Kierkegaard, Danish philosopher considered to be a founder of existentialist thought.

“But Homer, desserts aren’t always right…”
Well done on starting a blog – which I assume is rationalist and freethinking, if not atheist. For one thing, there’s so much interesting stuff out there to find (and don’t forget the humour – christian humour doesn’t really exist)…good luck!

Thanks, Anthony. This blog is all of the above. One of the things that caused me to doubt my Christian belief is my sense of humor. I’m incapable of being so serious about everything. Life is way to short to spend it feeling guilty and unworthy all the time.

Congratulations on your place of personal thoughts – am sure that I will continue to enjoy my visits here. And the Einstein quote on your sidebar reminds me of one of my father’s sage bits of advice, in our native Slovak, when I was a child “”Pochybovať právo” [question accepted truth].
It has served me well for over 70 years.

Someone with 70 years of wisdom is always welcome here. I’ve only been on my journey to “Pochybovať právo” for about a year. I spent the first 32 year of my life convincing myself to not question anything.
I see in the biography on your blog that you’re a graphic designer, musician, writer and seeker of a joyful life. I’m not sure if great minds think alike, but that describes me exactly. I look forward to my visits to your blog as well.
I’m happy to see people finding this blog only a few days after I’ve launched it. I look forward to meeting many other insightful people.
