This is a great way to describe this card and the feelings of something (possibly) sinister lurking beneath the surface that everyone in this thread has seemed to want to touch on /express since this thread was created. I like how you've framed it.
Yes ,,, and how it exposes my weakness .... I dont do that ... and I see guys doing it and I think "are they serious" ? ? ? Then a friend goes all girly-goo-goo because Mr handsome said he will be with her and no one else for ever and I go " What the hell are doing ... what are you thinking ? " ... and of course they get livid at me and I am the worst person in the world ... two years later I am helping them look after their kids, or tying to find a home and he is ... pppfffft !
I just cant comprehend how the men can say that and do it and the women believe it ! It dumbfounds me! Well ... we can say it and do it ... as long as both realise the dynamic being played out and what IS actually going on ...
... I suppose many dont <sigh> ... hence my weakness , an assumption that people are working on a clearer level than they are ... sometimes I am incredulous and not taking them 'seriously' I suppose.
Still ... < jumps up on soap box, hold his deck aloft and pounds it> I believe in the 'existential reality' of every card in my Thoth deck !
