The Knight of Swords shows a soldier dressed in battle armor riding a horse riding very fast and into a head wind. His sword is drawn ready to fight and ready to attack. His eyes are focused on the fight ahead, however the horse seems to be looking back at the rider as to question the decision to fight this particular battle.
Certainly there's nothing wrong with fighting for what is right and just or to protect that which is yours or what you have worked for. Sometimes the question is does the fight require guns blazing? Or does this fight require overwhelming force?
The birds circling above the riders head represent the "higher thinking" or Spiritual thinking. Before adding up those past experiences as "facts" and rush to a quick decision to and pummel a person or a situation. Stop and think for a moment, is the wrong that you have rationalized in your mind really something that requires you to take someone to task? Perhaps to get the result you want may require no words at all, some times the unspoken is more powerful than the spoken.
