arrogant young actor :( 28.4.5.6>18

[Olga Super Star]

Hi everyone,
I have had a very unpleasant experience with a guy.

I'm an actress, and so is my housemate. He is 8 years younger than me. Although I have studied with great names and great directors and was about to work with one of the most famous ones in Europe + I made some short movies (which he hasn't yet) I've often had the impression he thinks I'm an amateur and speaks to me as if he were the superstar professional and I was crap.

Now last summer he wanted to enrol into the National Theatre Academy and asked me if I could help him with the dialogue for the admission test.
We rehearsed a couple of days and a friend of his helped us with the movements. His friend is the same age as my housemate and is a graduate of this acting Academy, so he has some good traditional acting training.

So we did the dialogue at the admission test.
My housemate didn't pass it and I never saw his friend again.

Two days ago we happened to have lunch at the same time in the kitchen, and this friend of his came around to lunch with him.

A very unpleasant lunch.

The friend (9 years younger than me) sort of harassing me all the time, making sexual hints and insinuations, making comments on my bottom when I would turn my back to wash the dishes.. I could hardly believe it nor could I believe that my housemate (whom I had got on quite well up to then) was actually giving him reasons to continue.

But any way, we're all used to guys in their 27 doing that. I can survive male piggery.

What shocked me the most was their suddenly attacking me on acting, pontificating that I should do an INTRODUCTION acting course, which would give me the basic notions of acting, since I'm not a professional actor yet..

I couldn't believe my ears! During the two days rehearsals he had said that I was perfect and had obviously concentrate on my housemate as HE was the one taking the examination.
I think that if I were really zero they had probably asked someone else to do it!

I started to sort of justify myself saying that I have already studied a lot and that I could maybe be interested in studying with this and that director, and any name I would do they would go "noooo that is way too high for you, you have to start from the BASICS"
I kept replying saying "But I've also studied with the famous director.." and the friend insinuated with a laugh that I had probably paid the course, and when you pay a lot of money you get told you're good. He didn't even give me time to say that I was in training with the director for some time, and that she wanted me in her play.

I found all of this really mean and I could'nt understand what was going on as this young arrogant pig had just seen me twice in a short dialogue, and is not a friend of mine, and I hadn't asked anything, so why would he take so much emphasis in letting me know that I should START SCHOOL AGAIN!?!

At first that made me very angry.
But being (or trying to be) a Buddhist, and knowing that everything happening to you happens for a reason, I asked myself (and Yi) What should I take from all this? 28.4.5.6>18

28, the excess
Is it saying he has exaggerated with me?
28.5 is an old woman with a younger boy - it's us!
But what is it saying?
Should I follow this man's advice or not? Has he seen something true and was he trying to encourage me=

And why 18?
18 is when something bad has happened and you're trying to mend it.

any advice will be appreciated
(today's casts are all mysterious)

Hi. Well, maybe he is trying to create pressure for you, trying to break you, which has to do with 28. And yeah, interesting you got 28.5 and it does mention an older women with a younger man, but again, he seems to be a bit immature acting that way to you, so you just have to be the bigger person in this case. 18 is work after spoiling, and I don't think this means work things out with him, work things out with yourself so you don't feel like choking him next time, hehe. It's all about your attitude, he wins if he spoils your day, so just ignore it, he's immature, not worth your time at the end. Anyhow, interesting reading. Hope you feel better about it in the long run

 

[Olga Super Star]

thank youjuaneros, I already feel fine today.

Was just wondering if I should do a basic school as he said. Don't think it came out in the reading that I have to follow his advice so I won't probably do it

Olga:

My convention for three changed lines is to use 18 as prime and supplemented with 28.

Hex 18: Eradicating Corrosive Elements: Being trapped in a stagnant situation, rots or corrosive element will occur. Path and initiatives to eradicate corrosive elements shall be open, thus it is advantageous to take on major endeavor. Eradication process requires many days of advanced planning/diagnosis, and many days of evaluation/adjustment after eradication process starts.

Hex 28: Treading Through Overbearing Predicament: The load-bearing beam of the house is bent, depicting a predicament and threatening situation. Subject should still move forward as other viable paths shall emerge as we move forward. Facing apparent predicament, subject should possess independent thinking and fortitude, even if subject faces isolation from rest of the world as the price of his/her actions. Subject should be exonerated from any melancholy.

28 is pretty clear from the situation you described. You have to define what is the "corrosive element". Independent thinking is particularly emphasized in hex 28 Chinese text.

 

[Olga Super Star]

ok it indipendent thinking is emphasized.. I'll be independent and not enroll in any basic introduction course!
thank you

The Forest of Changes verse for your answer is:

28 - 18

Putting a pot on your head to look at the sky,*
You will not see the stars.
If you fret about the small things,
Neglecting the great,
Good fortune will slip out through the wall.

* This is an idiom for taking self-defeating actions.

I'll cook that short guy up!

Just to say that wanting to look things further deep I've asked

WHAT HAPPENED WITH THIS GUY?
25.5>21

I've had a look in the forum and found that this lines means: do not bother at all and try to understand waht happened.
