...and so my fortune cookie says.
After my initial shock, and that tiny little voice in my head saying "Holy crap, how did they know?," I quickly realized how something like this could be considered an psyche litmus test of sorts.
Glass half empty or half full?

For some, receiving a fortune with "Despair is criminal" is a reminder of how when all is good, to feel anything but happiness is truly "criminal."
For myself, I took a less than positive perspective, and lamented on all the shenanigans that have happened in the last 25 years of my life.
Are fortunes pronounced in the negative a telling sign of what I've been attracting in my life? To be honest with you, that's kind of what it feels like.
As for what I may do with that info...will keep you posted.
was freak out today in eating and laugh with my brother when got this message on my cookie today with lucky number we were both at odds with this .
ReplyDeleteI think despair is criminal because being sad out of time is not good I'm looking for happiness in my life and looking for positive things instead of negative I'm happy for what I have and I'm not worried about what I don't everything will work out in the end and I am getting happy about what I have it's not about what you have it's about how you use it
ReplyDeleteGot mine today at Great Wall Chinese Restaurant in Folsom PA. It's just a further motivator to me.
ReplyDeleteI just came home from prison in December and I've been so miserable I also have been making my husbands' life miserable as well. He does everything to make me happy and for me not to express gratitude is truly sad. It's unfortunate because I've allowed my home confinement to discourage me from counting my blessings and rob me of the true essence of life -- FREEDOM. So, when I opened my fortune cookie a few hours ago "Despair is criminal" I decided to google to get more of an in-depth spiritual meaning, which led me to this page and I'm so happy because my change starts NOW! Reading everyone's comments help me so I decided to share mine. Thank you
ReplyDeleteI opened this up today as I was sobbing over my sister’s death. I always take fortune cookies as prophecies. I guess she wants me to stop crying and enjoy life. I really miss her and wish she was still here. I hope she’s free of despair, somewhere peaceful and happy. I love you sister
ReplyDeleteLife is what you make it but no one has the right to ignore blessings given take notice it could be worse.
ReplyDeleteI received this fortune today when ordering dinner for my daughter and I, my family and I had been in a fire March of this year and it was definitely unexpected it has caused us to be split up in different places, we've lost a lot but not our lives. Some days are better than others and I'm making the best of a terrible situation. We lived there for 7yrs and I feel like a piece of me is missing. I know moving on is best but this process has shown me a lot. I'm going to continue to do my best and have more happy days and work on leaving Despair in the dust.
ReplyDeleteJust received this as a happy new year fortune wondering what this means. I googled it and here I am even more perplexed lol.
ReplyDeleteGot this in Modesto ca
