This King doesn't have a napkin tucked into his collar, but the end of the tablecloth. He definitely looks ready to enjoy the feast in front of him. The authors explain that "Resolving cards ask us whether we are truly content." This fellow may appear to have the good life, but one major thing appears to be missing - other people. Does he have anyone special to share his wealth with? And now that he's successful and has people to manage his business, does he have a purpose that fulfills him? The Raven Card suggests we should take a look at the big picture. It's easy to judge what we see on the outside and compare it to what we feel on the inside. In that comparison, life may not seem fair. But if we were to watch their whole life closely and without prejudice, we might find that people with lots of stuff still feel lonely, afraid and sad just like all the rest of us.
Fairness. that is pretty much what the great unwashed public cry out for.
ReplyDeleteNo one gets a pass on death. I guess that's fair. It's just all that in-between stuff where it gets murky.
DeleteI like that "resolving cards ask us whether we are truly content?"
ReplyDeleteThe Wheel and Spiral brings us back to the point that we must answer that question.
I like the "resolve" question too. I guess when we get to that point (the King) we need to make sure we've got some joy along with our accumulation of stuff.
