Leading a sheep on a rope:
“Gao Heng draws attention to a story in the Zuo Commentary in which the capital of Zheng fell to its enemy after a long siege. When the conqueror entered the city he was met by the earl of Zheng, stripped to the waist like a labourer and leading a sheep – the same idiom is used for this oracle – as a sign that he would pledge fealty in return for mercy. This suggests that leading a sheep symbolised a submissive petition.” (Rutt) http://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/frie..._exec_obidos_ASIN_0700704671_clarityiching_20
So how one can read this line. ? Don’t take any initiative unless if it is to declare submission?
hi maremaria,
once I read in a Richard Wilhelm book... that is wrong to ask using "if"!!!
it's a little bit difficult for me to explain the concept in English... but if you want I can try!!
any way:
” what if I do X ? ” -> will I do x?
try the second one.... it is less confusing and the IC will give an answer that you can understand....
it' a speculation!!!
because you can think to manage a situation with infinite approach...
but you will only act in one way.... so, the best way to investigate this kind of situation, is simply to ask:
what will I do....? etccc...
the simplest way is to ask the IC.... it just know the right answer..
and it just know what will happen, with all implication that you can/'t imagine!!!
43 is an initiative taker, a stand upper, so I don't see initiative being a problem. It's more how and what's behind it that matters.
When you use advice from that person (he or she will lead you like a sheep) than you have to sit, calm your self down and wait for a while (hexagram 5).
...
In the end, all you really have is your story. .

Thanks Yamabushi.
I think I know who that person is
My passionate part say "i' want to fix it and I want to fix it NOW !!!!' and the more reasonable one says "lets talk about it a bit "....
... they are in the meeting room now
So how is everything now? Did you listen that advice?
But I'm curious, how did you interpret that line and move on, if you want to share of course.
I see, it was clear but you decided to do your own thing.
There is another story, only hope it will not confuse you.

He was a very strongwilled man who made everything he had in mind, happen. Might be that 'hearing this' refers to the story being so incredible, in plain english "you wouldn't believe it"
