Instant Gratification

From the Victorian Romantic Tarot, the Magician; from the Dreaming in Color Deck, Aggression:

Every notable historical era will have its own Faust. ―Søren Kierkegaard

This Magician is based on the legendary Johann Georg Faust, a failed alchemist and magician. Seduced by fame, knowledge and power, Faust was said to have sold his soul to the devil in return for the instant gratification of his desires. As the UNCF slogan advocates, "a mind is a terrible thing to waste," yet we need to be careful of what we allow to fill it. Our life is shaped by the mind; it will become the chariot that drives our words and actions. Aggression - hostile behavior or attitudes - is often the result of those who feel entitled to instant gratification and have been thwarted. It tends to set up Faustian binds, when someone in power offers easy solutions to complex problems (usually empty promises). 

Whatever an enemy may do to an enemy,

Or haters, one to another,

Far worse is the harm

From one's wrongly directed mind.
