The hermit in Tarot

Teddy is not a handsome man, but he has the special charm of attracting people to look at him more with his vicissitudes and proud eyes. He doesn't speak much, but his words are not enough, and he exudes a distinctive temperament. Teddy is particularly out of place among a group of friends. His silence and melancholy are in sharp contrast to his friends' optimism. He accompanied his friends to do divination. Under the encouragement of his friends, he asked the question of fortune. When the "hermit" card was opened, all his friends laughed: "Hey, you see, even Tarot knows you are a strange old man!" Everyone said that he looked just like the old man in the card. What you really want to say is that I'm an old monster, right? You people just can't see others lead a different life. You can be busy making money, but I can't be busy filling my head? " Teddy took a sip of coffee and finally opened up the conversation. Sure enough, just like the first impression of crotti, "hermit" is a reflection of Teddy's appearance and mood. He is a very intelligent and thoughtful person with strong desire for knowledge, strong learning ability and environment, which makes his mind far surpass that of men of the same age, forming a unique mature charm. He may be lonely and hard to get close to, but it is definitely connotative. For him, inner cultivation is far more important than outer magnificence! Although Teddy's friends always ridicule him for carrying an ancient soul, there are always people who know the hero and appreciate this melancholy temperament just like crotti? Although "hermit" is a bit eccentric, his wisdom is the accumulation of experience, and he has a special charm of vicissitudes! This kind of friend is always hidden behind the crowd and needs to be patient! the key words of the recluse: the symbol of wisdom, the accumulation of knowledge and wisdom, the inner search for light, the pursuit of truth in the dark, lonely, noble, independent, meditative, committed to internal growth, the stage towards wisdom, self cognition, self understanding.
