why were they all looking at e like that afterwards?
and received a response of:
60 Regulation
The Statement of the first hexagram
Regulation. Be pervasive.
One cannot be morally pure
through suffering and trial.
The changing lines
The third line:
Unrestrained in regulations:
unrestrained sighing.
No fault.
The fourth line:
Calm regulation:
progress.
43 Decisiveness
The Statement of the second hexagram
Decisiveness. Proclaim in the royal court.
Trust in the commands. Be stern.
There will be severity.
Announce to your own city.
There is no gain in going to war.
Gain by having a place to go.
The Image of the first hexagram
Water above the lake:
regulation. The noble one
regulates number and
measure and discusses
virtuous conduct.
The Image of the second hexagram
Lake rising to heaven:
decisiveness. The noble one
bestows wealth
to those below
and shuns dwelling
on his own virtues.
