The Fool almost always stands for new beginnings, new experiences and new choices; the first steps

along a new path and the first words written onto a blank page

His approach to life is a strange, unconventional one, because he does what is comfortable to him. This

is a viewpoint not often supported in our modern world, in which "do as I say" is the commandment most

followed. To those who have lived their life under this philosophy, the approach of the Fool may be

extravagant, shocking, even frightening. But this approach is all that the Fool knows, and because the

only approval he requires is his own, he will continue to live this way, despite what all others think

of him. He has total faith in himself. Perhaps he is not such a fool after all.
