Thank you so so so much. That was beautiful! Learning with the tarot never ends. Just wanted to let you know that I attend a philosophy event here, and I've discovered that many people today are nihilists. They strongly believe that everything is 'random' (although they can't define what 'random' means or where the randomness comes from) and that life has no meaning or purpose. And that life is full of suffering, so we shouldn't have ever been born. They also believe that feelings and emotions are purely hormonal, and we live only according to instinct. If you talk to them about spirituality, they say things like: If we are manifestations of a higher power, why aren't our lives perfect? Why these tests? Why the suffering? Why do we have to grow? Why do we have to learn? Who controls reincarnation? Why are we forced to reincarnate? They believe that spirituality is just another religion that forces you to live life, grow and transcend the way a 'higher power' wants you to. And I don't have an answer to these questions. Nor do I have tangible proof. But I believe because it makes sense.
We also talk a lot about the concept of good and evil. Many believe that good and evil are purely subjective, even when it comes to heinous crimes. They believe that good and evil are the same thing, so there's no distinction between the two, even in this realm. Sorry for getting into philosophy, but it would be cool to know what the tarot has to say about these philosophical concepts. Also, I'd like to know if you find the tarot very Abrahamic, or do you think that it just represents the process of life? I feel that it's the latter, despite its Abrahamic symbology.
