Getting Noticed

From the Tarot of the Absurd, the Five of Sticks (Wands); from the Post-psychedelic Cyberpunk Deck, Random Number Generator:

          The contortions and gyrations in this Five of Wands seem like an effort to get attention. These women could easily be contestants on Shark Tank trying to impress the bigwigs so they will find an investor. What does it take to get one's creativity and innovation noticed? The Random Number Generator card points out how hard it is for humans to be original rather than methodical. Our minds are geared to look for patterns it can recognize and take vigilant note of anomalies and irregularities. For the Five of Wands ladies, simply watching then trying to outrageously outdo each other is still a form of imitation. Perhaps they should take some advice from C.S. Lewis: "Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it."
