Day 107 - TEMPERANCE

Day 107
 
 I am frequently frustrated by absolutely mindless logic used in shops. Like Lidl near me for example. It has this safeguard that tells people not to put heavy products on the counter. Perhaps because weight built-in may break, or perhaps so that older customers can use self-checkout. Nice, right?

Except logic dictating which products are "heavy" is very faulty. A three pounds box of tangerines? Heavy! An eighteen pounds crate of water? Light! About four pounds of single-use diapers? Heavy!
What the actual fuck?

Oh well, onto the next card!

14 : Temperance

Relatively simple card that pretty much captures a feeling of having a tea with a friend in a cosy environment. Serene harmony, balance, tranquil calmness and patience. Temperance is a feeling that everything is alright.

In reverse, it's... everything else. Impatience, imbalance, discord, extreme situation. It's the rush of the lack of control, of the fast-and-loose situations. Everything falls apart, status quo is dismantled. 

If Temperance is a question, it's "What brings you calm?"
If Temperance is a person, it's someone emanating aura of serene calmness.
If Temperance is an object, it's something that brings you feeling of harmony.
If Temperance is a situation, it's a calm serenity.
If Temperance is a trait, it's patience and calmness.
If Temperance is an advice, it's "Bring balance and calmness to your life"
