From the Shadowlands Tarot, Justice; from the Brownie Wisdom deck, "Pleasure Bright:"
It is certain, in any case, that ignorance, allied with power, is the most ferocious enemy justice can have. ―James Baldwin
Justice relies on the triad of equity (freedom from bias or favoritism), equality (having the same rights and opportunities), and ethics (moral principles of conduct governing an individual or a group). If one of those legs is missing, it tips over. How did this happen? We can look to the past to see why we are where we are in the present (bird in the nest). If we want to know what's going to hatch in the future - if nothing changes - we look to the present. The Brownie's "Pleasure bright" card isn't a call for toxic positivity, but a call to check the condition of our hearts. Neither entitlement nor revenge will bring justice or joy.
