Being Accountable

From the Sun and Moon Tarot, the Seven of Swords; from the Wisdom Keepers Oracle, 'Equality:'

          When pressures mount, the intellect rises up in order to protect its assets. Deflection and distraction are used for pointed questions; slippery yet eloquent words confuse rather than clarify the issue. The one thing not out in the open is the truth, but even that can't hide forever. The Thoth keyword for this card is 'futility,' and I can't help but draw a parallel between it and the Alabama senator election last night. Democrat Doug Jones won the vote over Republican Roy Moore, who had been accused of sexual abuse and relationships with young teen girls. Of course Moore denied everything (and even got the endorsement of Trump), but the media refused to let him off the hook. It is futile to think that it's possible to hide one's guilt forever. The Wisdom Keeper of Equality asks that we look at each person tenderly, as if we are a part of one family. It's easy if the person is friendly and agrees with all my opinions. But someone like Moore would be tough. I might see him in a kinder light as a flawed human, but I don't think I'll be inviting him over for dinner. Forgiveness is my responsibility, but he's the one who will have to prove himself trustworthy. And that begins with being accountable.
