Daydreaming

From the World Spirit Tarot, the Seven of Cups; from the Mystic Glyphs, Path - Go Back:

We’re looking in the places where society or our conditioning tells us to look—in the fulfillment of our desires. But that is not where true happiness is found.

—Joseph Goldstein

A man daydreams, fantasizing about all the wonderful things he might attain or achieve. Yet nothing he envisions will come to pass without making an effort to take action rather than just dream about things. The Path - Go Back glyph suggests we have made a mistake and are heading down the wrong road. If we are trying to find happiness for selfish reasons - to elevate and separate us from the rest - our happiness will last only briefly. No one stays on a pedestal for long. But if we are motivated by altruism, choosing a path that will benefit us as well as others, our joy will likely be more stable.
