Talk:Cruelty Card/@comment-17760674-20141114051758

She controls cruelty, yet she aids (from her description; succor = aid, assistance, etc) and encourages (from her main quote) those whose hopes and dreams were trampled (likely by her)? Is she sadistic, or am I missing some important concept here? o_____o

I read the origin, but it doesn't help that much. "Cruelty is indifference to suffering" certainly doesn't apply here since she's giving aid and encouragement. "pleasure in inflicting it [suffering]" could possibly apply here since it's along the lines of what I said above? But I'm not sure? It's not like she's exuding sadism and being all "muahaha". She seems pretty sincere in her efforts to me. But maybe I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt? o___O

The second paragraph on the Origins page is about Tarot reading. I don't know much about tarot reading, nor do I want to look up the details since I am unable to control myself when it comes to reading about new things (getting sick after spending 18 consecutive hours of reading a wikia or Wikipedia without eating much or going to the bathroom is terrible, okay), so I might be off in my understandings, but:

"Its [Cruelty card? Nine of Swords? unclear antecedent >.> but I guess it doesn't matter since they're apparently related] usual interpretation is Terror, the Nightmare." This girl doesn't really seem like a nightmare...

"it [the Nine of Swords, presumably] can indicate the process of letting go, grief" doesn't really seem to line up with the AGG Cruelty Card? She believes that there's hope for those with trampled hopes and dreams who continue on. Maybe the "continue on" is the "letting go" part? Also, I'm not sure what the process of grief is... Is it the process of grieving? the process of getting grief? the process of experiencing grief?

"in combination with healing cards [...] it is highly beneficial" seems to line up with the AGG Cruelty Card since she's... I dunno, healing others via encouragement/aid or something?

I guess it's no big deal, but I feel like I'm missing out on some important life concept LOL plus I'm really really really really really really really really really really really confused, and when I'm that confused, I usually like clearing it up xD
