Our whole life is based on action which is driven by our thoughts which again is based on knowledge. Knowledge acquired either by study, research, through experience, accumulated over time or out of action (meaning you do something without thinking and then learn out of it). We lead our daily life out of this actions, learn and again modify our act from that knowledge. But the accepted fact is - knowledge is never complete in any spheres - be it science, arts, relation, music, poetry, literature, farmer, or with anyone. A part of the knowledge is always filled with ignorance.... and action out of such knowledge can never be complete... there is yet to be an action which is complete, which is free of greed, jealousy, aggressiveness, confusion, and which never results in attachment, conflict, pain and sorrow. Even in love or in marriage all our actions are based on the image of our partner or our spouse which we cultivate in our minds based on our previous impressions, images - and we act based on that image in our mind - (from knowledge) which gives rise to conflict, division and biasness, coz we think we have complete knowledge when in reality we do not. Also to be mentioned here love is not just valentines day where again we see commerce eating into human emotions. As such our actions based on incomplete thought which again based on incomplete knowledge is always incomplete in nature and bound to result into conflict between each and everyone of us even man and woman.
There is one more factor to it which is time - as gathering knowledge requires time - we learn over a period of time. Even to know your loved one you require time. Time is also there in our psychological existence like i am an executive today - i want to be a manager , i love this girl and want to marry her, i have a bike but i will drive a car - and we think time will help us to attain these positions... all our desires, greed, expectations, assumptions, ambitions are time dependent. So the basic component of our mind is thought, knowledge and time which determines 100% of all our actions.
Like in the next card we will see how human beings have lived a million years with this conflict from the very beginning ...and we are still continuing to live with the same conflict... and so i believe and maybe others also that there is something drastically or radically wrong as our actions emerge from the same destructive mind... and maybe we will remain trapped in that self centered being for another million years...unless....( that is another card ... the final one...)

Knowledge time and thought
Mind, action and thought
Our mind is the most strange phenomenon in nature. One one hand it is extremely complex and on the other very simple. Rather, it is made complex due to the many psychological compulsions we have or acquire during our existence in this material world which causes the conflict and the pain, the resistance to certain aspects and the acceptance and acquisition of some. To be stoic, and just observe them without involving our "conditioned thought process" and let them pass by and not be entangled in them, is mission impossible - i am not saying unattainable. Life was always like a vast ocean and we float on this ocean with our small fishing net... catching things every now and then...we hold on to some while some we throw away thus creating - happiness and unhappiness.
Again all this acquired knowledge is used to build only our own self - our own beliefs, our illusions making everyone of us a self centered entity.Whatever we observe is guided by our desires, our motive our memory our thought. I want this , i don't want this, i am correct, i want to be a director, i want to an actor, i don't want a aeroplane, i don't want to read this shit, i know better, i want sex, i want solitude, i hate liquor, i like guys, i like to show off, i like to blah blah... knowledge makes us create an image of our own self and others around us in our mind from which our actions take shape... actions which takes shape from the self-centered knowledge and our selfishness, ego, vanity and aggression is always damaging and will give rise to conflicts - conflicts between man and woman, conflict between societies, nations, institutions, religious groups and all people.
