It's Saturday! Let's get our weekend started with a free Tarot reading: following the Millennium Clock, today is marked by the union of the Ace of Diamonds and 4 of Spades who, if they could speak, would respond to the following question thus:
Would you rather
Be married to somebody very vain, or
Be married to somebody with poor self-image?
Yes, yes... would I rather live with somebody who always professes to be more than me, or live with somebody who always professes to be less than me? It's not much of a choice, and probably a recipe for divorce, but if I had to choose I'd rather commit myself to somebody who's willing to stand both up and out for him or herself, consequences be damned, than commit myself to somebody who would require me to be the perpetual cheerleader. Am I going to get irritated by the drama and what I would probably consider to be the nonsense involved in maintaining a "perfect" image? Yes...
... but then, at the same time, I would probably find great satisfaction and pleasure in the richness and joi de vivre that such a person would bring. I suspect it's wrong for me to use the word "Faaabulouus!," but still - everything (and everyone) comes with a price. Even if my partner's vanity is a source of stress, I would know at least that my partner would never accept being mistreated by others, and - because I would, in my way, be an "accessory" to his or her life - would also never tolerate any disrespect against me.
