why have most chosen c?
and received a response of:
43 Decisiveness
The Statement of the first 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 changing lines
The fourth line:
Buttocks without skin: one walks uneasily.
Follow like a sheep and regrets vanish.
Instead, words are heard but not believed.
5 Waiting
The Statement of the second hexagram
Waiting. Stay confident:
there is light everywhere.
Pure fortune.
Advance across the great river.
The Image of the first hexagram
Lake rising to heaven:
decisiveness. The noble one
bestows wealth
to those below
and shuns dwelling
on his own virtues.
The Image of the second hexagram
Clouds rising to heaven:
waiting. The noble one
drinks, eats,
and feasts with joy.
