Can Palm Reading Make Less Sense? Yes.

On my way to Hy-Vee after an unnecessarily long Chorus Line rehearsal I had an argument with my Dad. It wasn't so much of an argument because he was doing his typical saying-things-just-to-fuck-with-people-because-he-doesn't-believe-what-he-is-saying-he-just-wants-to-get-them-riled-up shtick. He is very good at making people-I no longer place myself in this category for I have discovered his ways-believe that he is opposed to them just to make them get mad and argue with him for the sole reason of knowing their standpoint on things. A simple "do you believe that..." question would never suffice.

Anywho, I was driving and my Dad said that he had stumbled upon an interesting website explaining the mystics of tarot cards and palm reading along with other such spiritualist conundrums. Upon arriving at this website he found an article explaining palm reading. According to my fuck-with-your-mind father it said that palm reading doesn't tell your future, it tells your past. It serves as a connection to things that happened in your life that you wouldn't otherwise know about if you didn't have a remarkably good memory, or a life.


This little snippet of information was one of the most ridiculous concepts that i have ever heard. It's ridiculous. "Ridiculous," I exclaim! I couldn't even put into words how little sense that makes. Think about it. The lines unlike your fingerprints change as life goes on. This is called growth. Not some weird pre yet somehow not preplanned manipulation of a small portion of my skeleton: number one. Number two: No. Even if number one through a somewhat process of elimination and logic, I refuse to believe that this could even possibly be a thing. Its preposterous. To think that some higher power is hacking into my main frame and telling my body how to grow a certain way so i can find the holy grail of self-discovery is just---------!

  1. hypothetically, if there were a higher power, would this not by a satisfactory method of providing guidance?
