Why tarot cards are better than school

So, you’re feeling crushed by the relentless grind of school, right? It’s like you’re stuck in this suffocating cage where every day is a repeat of the last, just with a different set of meaningless tasks to juggle. Maybe you’re wondering if there’s an escape route or an alternative that doesn’t make you feel like a miserable cog in a machine. Well, here’s a radical thought: tarot cards might actually be better than school. Yep, you heard that right.

Let’s get this straight: school isn’t designed to empower you or to make you feel alive. It’s a system built on conformity, aiming to churn out obedient workers rather than independent thinkers. You’re taught to memorize, regurgitate, and follow orders. But what about creativity, intuition, and self-discovery? That’s where tarot cards come in. Unlike school, which seems to actively crush your individuality, tarot cards offer a window into your own psyche. They don’t shove one-size-fits-all answers down your throat. Instead, they invite you to explore your inner world and make sense of it in your own way.

Think about it. In school, you’re forced to follow a rigid curriculum that often feels disconnected from your real life. The subjects might be boring or irrelevant, but you’re still expected to care. Tarot cards, on the other hand, are all about YOU. They’re a tool for self-reflection and personal growth, not a mechanism to enforce compliance. When you draw a card, it’s like the universe is giving you a personalized message that speaks to your unique situation. It’s not about memorizing facts or regurgitating information—it’s about connecting with yourself on a deeper level.

And let’s not forget the creative freedom that tarot cards offer. You can interpret them however you want, and there’s no one right answer. It’s a far cry from the rigid, standardized tests you’re forced to endure in school. Tarot invites you to think critically, to trust your intuition, and to embrace your own interpretations. It’s a practice in empowerment, not in control.

So, while school might try to mold you into a certain type of person, tarot cards give you the freedom to explore who you really are. They’re a reminder that you don’t have to be a passive recipient of someone else’s agenda. Instead, you can actively engage with your own journey, make your own decisions, and find meaning in your own terms.

Maybe you’re not into tarot cards, and that’s okay. The point is, there are alternatives out there that respect your individuality and offer genuine growth. The world is vast, and there are so many ways to explore it beyond the confines of a school that doesn’t appreciate you for who you are. So next time you’re drowning in homework or feeling suffocated by a rigid curriculum, remember that there’s a whole universe of possibilities out there—tarot cards being just one of them.

Where to next? Pick one!
