Trojan i think we're saying the same thing in different words about 52:6.
You wrote, "i associate more with the person not bothering much in that
relationship...not in a bad way just cos they're quite detached from it".
I meant 'fatalistic' in a very similar manner. The attitude described (the
way i see it at least) is that the person is detached, has 'perfect stillness',
does not do anything, does not get involved. The two 'slopes' so to speak
are stillness, calmness, not moving, not doing, and modesty, and the
person stands at the pinnacle, doing nothing, as if the situation does
not require any effort, any energy, any rolling up of sleeves. This calmness
is serene, and trusting. No other changing lines, which in this question i
think shows a general attitude towards relationships. The question was
'how do i feel towards him' - a question i've always found strange. I do
agree with you, it does show detachment - but in the sense, "i don't
feel i need to do anything, i'll just see where life takes this, and me
with it".
This attitude may be great in some circumstances and situations, but
if this attitude is correct in a particular relationship, that's up to anyone's
opinions. I've had this in the past a couple of times, specifically just
before a very important pleasant event coming up, and i took it to mean
"in this case you need do nothing but trust in life". However, my questions
were 'action' questions (ie 'what do i need to do'), and not feelings questions
like here. Only saying all this to explain what i meant by 'fatalistic'.
