What I'd like to do is have a 'Major Arcana' of verbs that cover 'basic' or 'fundamental' actions that people or things take or make all the time.
Then the Minors will be a bit more specific or flavourful.
I thought I'd go for a standard 78 card deck. I'm thinking of doing something with word types other than verbs too.
I hope you'll let us know how it turns out. I know I said I was stopping, but you made me think that nouns could be good, no? Guilt, absolution; courage, cowardice; patience, impatience, haste; forbearance, indulgence; avidity (I love that word), apathy; joy, sorrow; solitude, friendship, connection; wisdom, naivete; humility, arrogance; gratitude, ingratitude.
Some more good ones for which I can claim no credit: View, Intention, Speech, Action, Livelihood, Effort, Mindfulness, Concentration.

What would be good pairs, though, I wonder? View: understanding, wisdom, ignorance, blindness? Intention: benevolence, compassion, consideration, malevolence, malice, enmity, disregard, thoughtlessness? I'll stop there because I've gotten way off track and this is probably not very helpful (not to mention that it's a discussion in itself). Just a thought.

Always glad to be of assistance.
