3 [3] Selfishness is a Disaster

______________

The Chariot in Tarot card shows a brave warrior standing inside a chariot. He wears armour decorated with crescent moons (representing what is coming into being), a tunic with a square (the strength of will) and other alchemical symbols (spiritual transformation). The laurel and star crown signals victory, success and spiritual evolution. Although he appears to be driving the chariot, the charioteer holds no reins. Just a wand like the Magician's symbolising that he controls through the strength of his will and mind.

The charioteer stands tall. There's no sitting down for this guy, as he's all about taking action and moving forward. Above his head is a canopy of six-pointed stars, suggesting his connection to the celestial world and the Divine will. In front of the vehicle sit a black and a white sphinx, representing duality, positive and negative and, at times, opposing forces. Note how the sphinxes are pulling in opposite directions, but the charioteer uses his willpower and sheer resolve to steer the chariot forward in the direction he wants.

Behind the chariot flows a wide river, symbolic of the need to be 'in flow' with the rhythm of life while also charging ahead toward your goals and intentions. 

And The Death card in Tarot shows the Messenger of Death. A skeleton dressed in black armour, riding a white horse. The skeleton represents the part of the body which survives long after life has left it; the armour symbolises invincibility and that death will come no matter what. Its dark colour is that of mourning and the mysterious, while the horse is the colour of purity and acts as a symbol of strength and power. 

Death carries a black flag decorated with a white, five-petal rose, reflecting beauty, purification and immortality and the number five representing change. Together, these symbols reveal that death isn't just about life ending. Death is about endings and beginnings, birth and rebirth, change and transformation. There is beauty in death, and it is an inherent part of being alive.

A royal figure appears to be dead on the ground, while a young woman, child and bishop plead with the skeletal figure to spare them. But, as we all know, death spares no one.

In the background, a boat floats down the river, akin to the mythological boats escorting the dead to the afterlife. On the horizon, the sun sets between two towers (which also appear in the Moon Tarot card), in a sense dying each night and being reborn every morning.

In other words this chariot takes all humans who ride it to the end of one life and the beginning of a new one. All the processes depend on the deeds they have done in the world. as well as the results they will get. all will be counted based on the number of good and bad deeds they have done. not all humans can get the results they expect. Almost all humans who have ever come on this train forget their sins in the world and some of them choose to pretend to forget the sins they have. And there are also a few of them who choose to confess their sins in order to be forgiven.

What about these two humans in this story?

The two humans stared at June with gazes filled with fear. All their memories have returned intact and they have remembered how their life used to be. All the wrongs and sins they have committed in the world as well as the good they have done are separated into two parts so that they can judge for themselves how they live their lives in the world.

Have they been good people all their life or not?

June laughed when he saw how two humans who initially didn't recognize each other and didn't care about each other became two humans who protect and love each other. Does human always caring only arise when they feel threatened? Or that caring only appears to gain protection from others?

"Take cover behind me, my daughter." Said the old woman with her last courage.

"No, you should take cover behind me." Said the young woman boldly.

"I will protect you as best I can." Said the old woman, smiling bitterly.

The two humans were trying to protect themselves from each other even though their bodies said otherwise. June stared at the two humans with sharp eyes. Humans are the dirtiest of creatures. Humans can even kill each other with just the words they speak. Humans often say that creatures with creepy forms and have super powers are dangerous but for us, humans are much more terrifying.

"Do you guys remember each other? Looks like you guys already know each other." June asked with a smile.

"What do you want from us ?! Can't you let us go ?! We have nothing! You can't take anything from us!" Shouted the young woman loudly.

"It turns out that you guys already remember each other." June said, smiling broadly.

"We are mother and daughter so it is only natural that we know each other!" Shouted the young woman loud and bold.

"Ah really? Didn't you guys say that you don't know each other?" June asked who pretended not to know the truth.

"That .. It's because you erased our memories." Replied the old woman.

"I never said that I erased both of your memories." June said with a big smile until his white fang teeth were visible.

The two humans pulled their bodies back in alarm after seeing the striking oddity in June. They finally realized that there was something wrong with the man who claimed to be named June. The two glistening golden eyes and two pointed fangs that looked very sharp made them realize that June was not an ordinary human. June does have human form, but they couldn't feel that June was living like a human.

"Let's end this warm conversation."

June tapped her finger on the table once and tree roots suddenly appeared from the floor of the carriage. The two humans began to panic when the strong roots began to pull their bodies back into the chairs. Their bodies were bound so that none of them could move their limbs anymore. June folded her arms across her chest. The man laughed again when he saw how the two humans were trying to save themselves.

Have they forgotten that they are already dead? There is no longer any point in saving yourself as it will only end in vain. The humans who enter this train are only humans without souls who will be judged in the afterlife. This train is just the beginning that will take humanity to something new. But it all depends on the actions they have done while living in the world.

June savors every fear, despair, regret and tears of all humans who have ever faced him. The screams and pleading voices he always heard had become a death song that filled the silence in this place. He can still feel the hatred, ambition, want to kill and the anger of the humans who have come into this carriage until now and June gets even more excited every time a new feeling arises inside this carriage.

"What are you doing?!" The young woman shouted in terror.

"Please spare us, sir. Have mercy on us." Said the old woman who was beside him, crying.

"Why are you guys begging me? Do I look like something that can grant human wishes?" June asked, laughing.

"You look like you're in charge of this place so I'm begging you." Replied the old woman.

June just laughed so loudly that the carriage shook violently at the sound of his laughter. the two women screamed in fear as they closed their eyes tightly. Everything June did made them afraid that they would die a second time even though the punishment that awaited them was far more terrifying than death.

"I have no mercy and I do not accept pleas from sinners."
