Chronicles of the Fool
I write this as a fool.
In tarot, The Fool is card zero.
Zero not as emptiness or nothingness, but as the beginning.
The Fool stands at the start of the journey before the titles, before mastery, before victory is celebrated, and long before mockery has the chance to turn into envy. Every path begins here. Every journey starts at zero.
To be a fool is not to remain ignorant. It is to accept ignorance briefly, deliberately, as the price of growth.
Every skill begins with clumsiness, with discomfort, with awkward hands and shaky steps.
Every insight begins in confusion, long before it feels like understanding.
Every great person in history once stood at zero, the place of the fool, at the beginning of the journey they chose to take. Most of those foolish beginnings were never recorded, and their mastery is mistaken for talented genius.
This is mine.
I am documenting my foolish journey.
For those who held back their questions because they felt obvious. For those who delayed learning to avoid looking inexperienced. For those who stayed silent to protect an image.
You already understand this path.
The Fool walks first and only later does he learn why.
Welcome, Fool.
