...yes, and maybe the point is that a question should include some idea of where you'll be going with the answer, what difference it will make, what you will build with it?I wonder if After Completion - View is advice to consider what one will do with the information after receiving it. Perhaps that is when the moral dilemma kicks in.

At the risk of being picky (sorry) - I don't understand what that has to do with the morality of a question.
Hm - good question - I suppose I mean that 'the common ground all questions should share, morally speaking' might be clarity of intent, which is really the same thing as being honest with oneself. The process of digging into 'Why do I really want to know that?' can be quite revealing/ difficult/ alarming/ embarrassing.At the risk of being picky (sorry) - I don't understand what that has to do with the morality of a question.
I can see how one shouldn't ask ridiculous questions about doing things they have zero intention of actually doing (63, Completion) - is that what you mean?
I sort of wonder whether it matters what we ask? We can ask whatever we want, but then Yi can answer however it wants? It can encourage us, give us information, roll its eyes, cut us down to size, slap us in the face, explain what the consequences would be, help us understand our motivation for asking, etc. etc. etc. There's so much nuance. I'm sure we've all experienced so many different reactions from Yi. I'm not sure we're capable of understanding it all.
Indeed, that too. I was thinking of a different example,I don't want to answer in anybody else's name, but I personally understand it in line with the moral relativism Bradford was talking about.
For example, the morality of this question: "how would be the outcome of selling my stock options today in order to pay a Christmas visit to my dying grand-mother" would be different than "how would be the outcome of selling my stock options today in order to pay a hitman to kill my loud neighbor". The main action or subject of the question would be the same (what will be the result of selling today), but the final purpose, the "what you are going to go with the answer" will be different.
(...or you have nightmares about such people, because you know they will keep coming back but you can never actually help them, and also your complete inability to get the message across to them will drive you to distraction. So you have to refuse to read for them, and then they think you're being horrible...)...She's the kind of persons no one wants to have too much business with, unless you're professionally into readings, then you dream about this persons (and them giving you all their money).
:bows:It is ours to decide what we are, are we moral, are our actions moral or not. It is I Ching's to decide what it will do with us. I think we shouldn't decide for I Ching what its his business.
