From the Morgan Greer Tarot, the Six of Coins; from the Celtic Book of the Dead, Island of the Hound-footed Horse:
When you're accustomed to privilege, parity and equity and equality may feel like oppression. –Raphael Warnock
The Morgan Greer's LWB for this card reads "Generosity pays off through material prosperity." Past studies have shown that unselfishness has positive consequences for psychological well-being, physical health, and relationships. But new research (conducted among 25 countries) found that in the long run, generous people actually make more money - it literally pays to be generous. The Island of the Hound-footed Horse had an equine-like animal that tried to attack them. Its message is that when we have power over people or animals and mistreat them, we shouldn't be surprised when they lash out. Locally and globally, we are in a web of relationships. How we treat and care for others will ultimately affect us.
The sage has no concern for himself,
But makes the concerns of others his own.
He is good to those who are good.
He is also good to those who are not good.
That is the virtue of good.
–Tao Te Ching, 49
