.

The defining feature of the Ace of Swords is that it's overwhelming for the one who interacts with it.

.

A "reversed" Ace of Swords is something which only appears "overwhelming".

That said, it should be borne in mind that this assessment may vary depending on one's point of view, the players involved, and many other nuances[449 - "That said, it should be borne in mind that this assessment may vary depending on one's point of view, the players involved, and many other nuances" – in essence, all obstacles in this world and their significance are illusory. Many religions and philosophies are built on this point. Shaivism, for instance. Freed from illusory perception, the Mystic becomes Free and "Powerful", from a secular point of view. (Muse.)].

For example, his infantile helplessness and the "overwhelming force" (Ace of Swords), for a baby – his diapers, will eventually become just an amusing phase in his life (Zero of Cups).

The teacher complains to Vlad's father:

– Your Vladik called me a prostitute in front of the whole class.

The father scolds Vladik:

– What's this, you ungrateful brat! Doesn't the teacher teach you? She does! Doesn't she take care of your education? She does! So, what goddamn business is it of yours what she does in her spare time?!

The Knight, according to the Kabbalah, is going or being with the Flow, with a stream, a trend.

An object, a process, where the Force has swept up the Stalker and carried him off.

Swords are will, action, thought, information.

Accordingly, the Knight of Swords means being in the flow of will, action, thought, information.

For example, watching TV.
