A little brainstorm about a relating hexagram

[julie]

There was a thread a while back about some of the odd relating hexagrams, given the primary and the changing line. 58.1 to 47 seems like one of the oddest -- how can contented joy lead to or be in the context of oppression? I just got that line, and suddenly it all made sense to me. When you're stuck, when you're trapped and hemmed in and there's nowhere to go, how can you deal with it? Be joyous! We don't have to take our internal states from our external situations. Even the glummest of us have so much to be grateful for! We're alive, in this beautiful world! It's so easy to get focused on the things that are wrong and to go crazy desperately trying to figure out what to do about it. But we can also realize, hey, there's not really a darn thing I can do about this right now, so I might as well be happy.

Anyway, I was excited about it.
