            Have you ever been at the cash register checking out, and noticed the clerk make a mistake in your favor. Instead of correcting the clerk, you allow the mistake to go by. This is the Five of Swords. It's about thinking of yourself before others.
            This is not to say committing acts of intentional harm or corruption. It's more about your priorities.
            How did you feel when I talked about not correcting the mistake. Did you have that tinge of guilt when you thought about it. Now we're getting to the meat of how self destructive this can be. I know. I've done this before. It still makes me wince at the thought of it.
            I think the lesson is to make sure you don't diminish your self, as you watch out for your own self interests.
