### 🗡 Kosminsky’s symbol:

> **“A man with a sword crashes through a stained-glass roof”**
>  A symbol of **recklessness**. Strength is present, but uncontrolled. The individual may **destroy everything beautiful and delicate** unless they stop and learn to **master themselves**.
>  Life provides repeated lessons in self-control. If learned — the potential is enormous. If not — tragic falls, especially in the areas of reputation, career, or relationships.
