From the Legacy of the Divine, the Seven of Swords; from the Tea Leaf Reading Cards, the Mask:
Both of the cards today point at betrayal and deception. There is a big difference between being honest (not telling a lie) and being truthful (revealing a full, 360 degree view of the matter). One part may seem to be insignificant and of little concern, but seeing the whole truth paints a much different picture. "I was inspired to write this essay," sounds nice; "I copied and pasted most of it from something I found online" does not. Most of us are driven to get ahead and to look good. But we can't do either of those genuinely if we are lying to ourselves and others - we have no tangible starting point for making changes or real progress. When our actions agree with our words we grant ourselves integrity, and our relationships become based in trustworthiness.
