photo LiSe
About leaving a useless situation.
5.3 Waiting in the mud. It will attract bandits.
Don't stay in a bad place.
6.4 Failing to contend. Return and face destiny. Change attitude. Determination about peace: auspicious.
Don't stay in a useless fight.
59.4 Disperse one's group, great auspiciousness. Dispersion finds accumulation. Common people would never think of this.
Don't stay in a group which is not your destiny.
60.3 Not gathering restraint, the consequence is gathering laments. No fault.
Don't stay in a sloppy mind, unless you can deal with bad results.
The theme of this mirror: about being where you should be.
Mirrors 05.3 and 35.3 are complementary
(all yang lines of Mirror 05.3 are yin lines in Mirror 35.3 and vv)
Mirror 05.3 is about leaving a useless situation.
Mirror 35.3 is about knowing the essence of the matter and using it to find your place.
