The Lovers, Holy Grail Tarot

We're asked to step out of our comfort zone, put down our long worn weapons, and prioritize 'higher values'.

The card we are used to see as The Lovers is here called 'Peace'.
Two strong stern warriors tossing their swords.

Following our deepest truths (the only path to true inner peace) can be a hard choice, 'going against our personality' - like it probably takes a lot of courage for a man trained and personifying himself as a warrior to drop his sword and choose truce/peace.
We see the rough terrain amplifying this, and I read "dilemma, constraint".

What personality trait or 'mask/persona' (defense) do we have to 'lay down' now, if we are to follow our hearts rather than some mental conviction or 'role description' or some old narrative?
What in our mindset is locking us out from feeling peace?
If we feel constrained - what constitutes the constraint, and how can we think about it differently (less defensively)?

What weapon is it time for us to lay down?
Maybe or probably something we don't even perceive as being a weapon, because it's become 'a part of our arm' because we've used it to defend ourselves for so long. Or a part of the repertoar in a role we've played for so long that we've almost forgotten that it's not who we ARE.

What and who is it time for us to stop fighting?
Because the minute we stop fighting, peace can and will prevail - as the fight is mostly in our minds (swords).

There are just so many better ways to invest our energy than in fighting, defending or resisting!
Like dropping the sword and walk away :)
No, that's NOT 'giving in/up' - it's making room for and choosing to invest our energy in something more inspiring!
