From the Tarot of the Masters, the Three of Swords; from the Key to the Kingdom, the Ace of Hearts:

For what it's worth, I can finally see

That I'm a little bit hurt but a lot more free

—Max McNown

The dead seagulls on this card emphasize the death of our trust placed in another. It is a difficult truth to accept when we realize those we placed our confidence and faith in have betrayed us. Our minds may become a whirlpool of anger or self-pity, as we deal with that grief. Yet if we are able to see the situation from a wider perspective, we might eventually agree with McNown - we're a little hurt but a lot more free. The Ace of Hearts reflects how fleeting beauty and life are:

I'm a little butterfly

Born in a bower, 

Christened in a teapot,

Died in half an hour.

Each night our days on this earth are reduced by one. How do we want to spend the moments we have left? As John F. Kennedy said, "We must use time as a tool, not as a couch."
