People believe in fortunes because they want to feel connected to the future. Like when you open a fortune cookie and it says, 'You will find success this year.' That makes you think something good is going to happen soon. It's like having a secret message from your future self! Some people even look at horoscopes, which are like predictions about what will happen in the next day or week.
Examples
- A person buys a lottery ticket after seeing, 'A lucky number is coming your way.'
