Five of Swords General Meaning

The Five of Swords asks you to remember that we are all of one soul. If you are winning at someone else's expense, this is not really winning, but an illusion of success. Whatever your involvement, you are paying a price on some level - so try always to remember that win-win solutions are the only solutions that work. Selfishness is ultimately a destructive emotion. Real self-interest lies in generosity.
