– And what's this? What's all that noise and racket?
– It's the seagulls?! They always live around here.
– No seagulls. Get rid of them all! On second thought, leave two – they can walk along the beach together, but no flying, under any circumstances.
– But that would wreak havoc on the environment, and it would also entail training of seagulls!
– We're paying! Everything's gotta be just right!
After some time, all the work is completed.
Finally, the boss himself arrives. Checks into the penthouse suite.
Walks to the sea along the clean white sand, admires the two seagulls,
as they stroll lovingly together by the seashore. Sits down on a lounge chair, takes a deep breath
of fresh sea air, and says:
– My God! Such beauty and splendour! These are pleasures that even money can't buy.

Aces, according to the Kabbalah, are a primal source of Power, a manifestation of the Absolute, an overwhelming power or force, a force majeure.
An object, a process when Matter or Finance "overwhelmingly" enter the world.
Accordingly, the Ace of Disks is the "overwhelming" force of Matter or Finance.
In the Material world, it may symbolize, for example, a bulldozer or a Fed printing press133.
.
Please, note:
The concept of an "overwhelming" force or power depends on the "caliber" of the subject or observer.
For an ant, an "overwhelming" force may be a baby finger. For a mountain the size of Fujiyama, not every nuclear explosion is an "Ace".
