Because it's about thinking in a different perspective and letting ourselves to be peaceful with our condition, for whatever it might be. It's more like a sense of acceptance and getting enlightened from an attitude of acceptance. But of course sometime I do feel this card is like a sacrifice in a kind of way, but I especially think that way when I got a bad day or not feeling well (I read my cards daily). But I still feel that sacrifice is also an attitude of acceptance to some extent. The difference is, when it comes about sacrifice, there is some thing that need to be abandoned or let go of, where we feel attached to it (rather emotionally) so we feel kinda sad when we have to sacrifice something. But there is a difference with acceptance, which is to release any attachment of something, and a sense of embracing our condition for whatever it might be. And when it comes about acceptance, although we let go of something and we don't have that something again, this sets us free, because by accepting something we also simultaneously let go of our expectation. There is no shoulds or shouldn'ts. This especially described by the hanged man peaceful feature amidst of his situation. He let go his expectation on whether he should not stay there, and accept his condition. So he feels free and peaceful. And he also know that his hands and legs are still free, actually, where he can move them freely (he only have one leg tied up, but sometimes this is based on what card you are seeking), but he chooses to stay in his condition and not to get up and save himself. For me, that is because he accepts his condition peacefully. @Rosebud This card to me didn't seem positive until I read this. I think that this is wonderful insight and I am so glad that you shared it! If you take the advice of the card, be still, and wait, you don't actually lose anything because you are gaining an insight, an enlightenment. That is absolutely beautiful! Thank you!

( Hi Sar - good to see you ! ) @gregory this was my thought! He is resting because he is dead! This is an interesting one. I will have to research this further. Thanks for sharing!
