Motives Matter

From Hadar's Le Veritable Tarot de Marseille, the Six of Cups; from the Greek Rune Tiles, Lambda:

The Hadar booklet states that the Six of Cups represents a vow of union - choosing and committing to belong to a person or group of people. This fits nicely with Lambda; the Greek uppercase of this letter is painted on NATO military vehicles for alliance identification. How do we choose our alliances? Is it because we hate the same people and want to punish the same groups? Or do we join allies who work for justice, who want to help the oppressed and afflicted? Motives matter. Anger and abuse, unlike kindness and compassion, can easily turn on those who were originally considered friends. The vow of bitterness is completely self-centered.
