Back when I wrote that entry, I did not interpret the Forfedha (last five cards of the Ogham, Koad, Phagos, Oír, Mór, and Uilleand) as ill-dignified or well-dignified. I have since changed my tune. An imbalanced Uilleand can indicate smothering, like a well-meaning parent, spouse, or boyfriend/girlfriend who assumes a mantle of caretaker but ends up suffocating the one they love. Or like when faithful people "generously" pray for a drug addict to get better and repent their sins to God when the druggie simply is not ready and does not want to be prayed for. Or like when I used to give money to breast cancer charities that did absolutely nothing except funnel money into the ample coffers of a few virtue signalers in comfy, salary class jobs when it wasn't funding animal torture research. Once I realized where my money was going, I stopped giving to those organizations. Generosity, just like anything else, needs to have a clear and honest intention which is best discovered in discursive meditation.
I don't eat honey because the bees did not make it for me, but if I was genuinely starving to death, I'd probably eat it. I would stop eating it once it had saved me from starvation though.
