Laugh

-6.  Laugh

The Laugh signifies the energy you embody when you role-play. You are on a stage with a script and you exchange places with others for the roles of the lead and supporting characters. In one act you will play the hero and in the next act you will play the villain. One moment you may be the servant and another moment, you may be the queen. Next, the teacher and later, the student. The trick is not to get attached to the roles you play and not to take them too seriously. There is not one single role that is your identity. Every role can be your identity but only for a moment. The Laugh invites you to play along in the grand theater of life, with endless possibilities of roles and dramas. When you realize that it is all for fun, you can wear any mask and it will make you laugh.

If this card was pulled with the intent to provide advice:

Be flexible in the roles you play. Do not become attached to one identity. We are the friend, the teacher, the servant, and the comedian all at once. Can you see the absurdity of it all? There’s no reason to be so serious. What roles do you play today? Laugh about it.

Key descriptors:

Introspection:

• Is there an opportunity to practice detachment and humor in a social or situational interaction?

• Do I need to wear multiple hats or play various roles in my life right now?

• Can I try on a new identity while being emotionally detached from the outcome
