Last night my wife and I went to a buffet and they gave us fortune cookies with the bill. Upon opening hers, my wife asked me what it meant. I have to admit I was just as confused. Can anyone please enlighten us as to the meaning of this?
"Yet by calling full, you created emptiness."

I like this interpretation. That makes sense. I was never really very good with the parables either.
