Hex 6, Line 2..argue or not?

[TygerChild]

Well, feel I am making some progress. But asked question regarding : How do I free myself MOST CREATIVELY from (therapist still actually).....for my own good in the long term?

Been feeling a lot of pain in this situation, and feel the need to speak up in fact. And this seems to be healthy at this time, for me.

Answer came Hex 6, changing line 2.
In karcher's book I was told TO ARGUE. In other commentaries it seemed I was being advised to avoid conflict and NOT TO TRY TO ARGUE CASE.

The different commentaries seem to ' Conflict'.

What is going on here, and how do I understand these apparent contradictions?

Personally I find Karcher's books off, so never ever use them and sold them.

Anyway, what it suggests is that you don't pick a fight with someone bigger and stronger, because you are going to lose, so what you do is back off so you don't get squashed. So, you find freedom in retreat from the "enemy".

Fully agree with Willowfox. And I regret to say I don't find too much guidance in Karcher's book.

My suggestion goes with LySe's words on 6:2 > 12:
"9 at 2: Failing to contend. Returns and flees to his own town people, 300 families. Without mistake.
Very often battling is a waste of time, even if you are right. Leave the place or mindset and tend to your own business, your people, your heart. It is the wisest thing to do – for the good of the community. Defer contention until there's something to actually be won.
12: Saying no seems a negative thing, but without the art of saying no one is a victim of everything that one passes on one’s road. But receiving a ‘no’, being denied something – even those are necessary things in life. They make strong, one learns there are borders and best of all: one learns to cope with them or to overcome them.
The right reaction to a ‘no’ or the power to overcome obstacles are the base of a strong character. Saying no is the prerequisite for individuality, for inner peace and for a rich and creative existence.
Sometimes you need a time of no. After a hectic time with worldy pursuits, you have to come back, and then 12 feels like a clear glass of water after a hot dusty day."

Take care.
