From the Sheridan Douglas Tarot, the Three of Swords; from the Pages of Shustah cards, Scorpio (Card of the Scorpion):
The darkness of this Three of Swords emphasizes how pain and betrayal can be so unexpected that it seems to come out of nowhere. It leaves us hurting and wondering why someone lashed out in such a way and what we might have done to instigate it. The booklet that comes with this deck suggests this is necessary suffering in order to see the situation or people around us in a clearer context. Such an awakening can often roust us from our cocoon of denial so that we no longer ignore the truth. The Scorpio card represents high energy that can be channeled toward moody vindictiveness or can be used for investigative purposes. It would be a shame, however, to use all that energy on 'why' (which will never really give us any satisfaction). Instead, we might ask 'what now,' and focus on finding our footing, moving ahead and not making the same mistakes again.
You either get bitter or you get better. The choice does not belong to fate, it belongs to you.
