Tarot Story
The Fool is now looking for a new path and sources for new inspirations for his life. He is rather uncertain about his direction in life now and was sitting at the cross-roads when he noted that there is a blind woman who was listening to two brothers arguing over their inheritance. The old woman had been sought for her advice.
One brother has all the inheritance to himself while the other brother has nothing. The poor brother demands for all the inheritance to be passed to him and claims that he will not be as wasteful as the rich brother. The wise woman awards half of the rich brother’s inheritance to the poor brother and the Fool thinks that this is a wise and fair act, However, neither brother is happy with this decision as the rich brother hates to lose half of his money while the poor one thinks that he should have been given everything.
After the brothers had left, the Fool told the woman that he thinks that she had made a fair decision. The woman commented that this decision will be good for both brothers as the poor one will have as much as he needs and the rich brother will not be that wasteful with his inheritance.
The Fool reflected on this statement and thinks that this provides him with a new insight to his life. He realised that he had been chasing after world possessions and had neglected his spiritual well-being. He hasn’t made any sacrifices which will benefit his spiritual well-being. Now, he feels that he needs to strike a balance between his pursue for material well-being and spiritual well-being.
