Virtue signalling
I tend to showcase playing cards more often, especially when the registration for the playing cards module in the ‘Read Like the Devil’ method is open, but the reality is that I actually read playing cards every single goddamn day. For every day there’s someone who needs to know something, who needs to understand why the love isn’t going anywhere, or why the boss is an imbecile.
Here we are in the presence of all red cards from the suit of hearts. Yet the Queen I’m reading for is lamenting. I ask her about the virtue she is signalling, what with so much of that shit around. She tells me that she flaunts the virtue of prioritizing her children over everything else.
‘Well then,’ I said to her, ‘there you have it. There’s no amorous love for you, as you’re too busy virtue signalling how much you cry for your children and how much you’re willing to sacrifice for them.’
A straight 7 Hearts, Queen of Hearts, Jack of Hearts. I wished her good luck on her path, and went back to finishing my drink and smelling the rose myself.
