Fortune Cookies

I will accept wisdom and inspiration from any source...from fortune cookies and bathroom graffiti to the Upanishads. But I've decided that the best way for me to live my life is according to my own lights. Not that I have any special insight. I don't claim that. I might be dead wrong about all kinds of things. However, I think deferring to others, including scripture writers, is a way of trying to shrink from responsibility. But what you do is always going to be on you no matter if you were just following orders as you understand them or not.
