Happiness per command

For some, happiness is a project that they decide to be happy about.

Such strong resolve, you want to say, and then laugh a little…

Lady Justice here likes to be methodical in her approach. Together with the Emperor they make a good team, officially speaking. But is happiness subject to what we can officially declare? On a daily basis I hear people making proclamations as to how we can just decide to be happy. Really? How do we justify such a decision? On what ground?

As there’s never any logic to these proclamations, the only thing left to the ones who like to question the idiocy in vogue is laughter and ridicule. If people are happy, à la the image in the Sun card, I dare say that they are that not because of their conscious decision to be happy, but rather, because the circumstances for happiness are present in their lives, unhindered and quite independently of what they choose.

In your face

In a manner of speaking, all my divination books are about making choices, but some are more focussed on it than others.

Cross and Choices, the 5-card crosses and the 6-card choices are topics in these two books that I’d describe as being ‘in your face.’
