From the Granny Jones Australian Tarot, the Ten of Swords; from the Button Oracle, Arjuna:
Experience is a brutal teacher. But you learn. My god, you learn.
Just when we think we have figured things out and have put our plans and strategies into action, we crash and burn. But we don't have to stay at rock bottom unless we refuse to change our ideas and see things through fresh eyes. The button shows Arjuna, an unrivaled archer whose story is told in the Bhagavad Gita. He finds himself in the middle of a war he doesn't want to fight because he will have to kill some of his relatives. Yet Krishna tells him it is his duty as a warrior to see that justice is protected and the greater good preserved. In other words, even though the right course of action is difficult, we at times must do what we don't want to do. Or we can keep lying on those cold, hard rocks.
