Monday is Tarot Day. Yesterday was "God of Carnage"

Let me clarify.  Yesterday I took part in a stage reading for the Free Readers' Theatre in Oak Park, IL.  The play, "God of Carnage".  Wherein two middle-aged couples escalate into a battle royale over one couple's boy attacking the other couple's boy.  It's a super character piece, an actor's dream, exploring how grown-ups can easily act like children if given the right opportunity.

And so, the card that came to mind was the 5 of Wands, depicting five young men embroiled in a battle with sticks. But look at them.  Is this a life or death struggle - or are they making more of a show of the situation than it actually deserves?

Much like the Novaks and Raleighs in the play, there's much angry waving of arms, but it doesn't seem like much real harm will be dealt.  Sometimes, kids will be kids.

Not that we want to totally dismiss this siege, but World War 3 it ain't.
