From the Da Vinci Enigma Tarot, Experience (Justice); from the Insectorum Divinorum, Diversity:
Dimmi: How does experience inform your integrity?
Where do you need to be just or impartial in this matter?
The young girl in Da Vinci's sketch seems to point off into the distance as if inviting me to explore something. In this version of Justice, the question is asked about how open or closed-minded we are. Do we base what we think is ethical and equitable on our personal belief system or on the well-being of all? Leonardo wrote, "The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions." The Diversity card is a reminder of what a varied assortment exists in the bug world - approximately 17,500 species of butterflies and 350,000 species of beetles. The medley of humans is no different; we are all influenced by such things as our culture and education, but more than anything else, our life experience. Yet even if we can't travel the world, we can learn from books, documentaries, and people who are different from us. Mere opinions and personal beliefs do not produce equality.
Too often we... enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.
~John F. Kennedy
