how does he feel now that i know and have cut him off for good?
  
  
    and received a response of:
  
  
    
  
  
 
  
   
  
    12 Clogging
  
  
    
      
      The Statement of the first hexagram
    
    
      Clogging by wicked people. 
Nothing to be gained, 
even from a steadfast prince. 
The great goes, the vile comes.
    
   
  
    The changing lines
    
        
    The third line:
    Wrapped in shame.  
     
   
 
    
  
  
 
  
   
  
    33 Withdrawal
  
  
    The Statement of the second hexagram
  
  
   Withdrawal. Continue.
Small gains in persisting.
  
   
 
     
    
        
    The Image of the first hexagram
  
  
    Heaven and earth
separate: clogging. 
The noble one acts 
with self-restraint 
in the face 
of punishing hardship, 
and avoids glory or riches.  
      
      
      
      
     
    
        
    The Image of the second hexagram
  
  
    A mountain under heaven:
withdrawal. 
The noble one keeps 
distant from vile people,  
not with hatred, 
but with dignity.
