From the Tarot of the Masters, the Six of Swords; from the Key to the Kingdom, the Jack of Diamonds:
I've left groups when the purpose or principles changed that I not support them. But then there are also the clubs and organizations I left because of personality conflicts. The Six of Swords is about moving away from agitation and frustration into calmer waters. Yet the Jack of Diamonds offers a warning with the rhyme it is associated with about Little Jack Horner who, because he pulled out a plum in his pie, declared that he was a good boy. It's easy to see myself as being right and others wrong because of disagreements, but even if I leave, I need to make sure I'm not carrying the problem with me (a self-righteous attitude).
When solving problems, dig at the roots instead of just hacking at the leaves.
~Anthony J. D'Angelo
