"All the troubles you have will pass quickly."

        How artful the wording, Fortune Cookie.  If you had said, "The troubles you have will pass," one might have taken it as a harmless bit of encouragement.  With "All" it's the whole sum of troubles, and with "quickly" not just gone, but "snap of the finger."

       Yes, and the word "pass":  a euphemism for "die"?  Especially with "quickly."  Nice touch, Fortune Cookie.  And even if we didn't think we had too many troubles, we DO, you say, F. C., and LOTS of them,  maybe just the burden of LIVING?  It'll be gone, "Don't you worry."

       I am amused, and actually a little relieved.  I can feel the weight lifting already.

       That's the way it should be.

       You nailed it, Fortune Cookie, you nailed it.
