Recently I asked if I should do thus and so. The context was if I should do or I had better refrain from doing it.

I got 41 UC what I consider as "You'd better refrain. And decrease your involvement in the issue at all."

How do you see it friends?

Thank you for your inputs.

Pretty much exactly as you said. A form of sacrifice is called for - a decrease in your involvement, either in thinking and/or action. Less is more.

the question is too... general...
Decrease could come in many forms, i.e: discard a bad habit to be able to do something

By decreasing I meant lessening my concern about the issue, exactly what Topal said. To forget about the issue for a while, let it ripen, not to meddle.

I generally take 41 as a "no" of sorts, or a withdrawal. On the other hand, "One may use two small bowls for the sacrifice." Sometimes it just means a decrease in formality, luxury, excess. A return to simplicity and sincerity. 33 and 52 are, to me, much stronger indications that you should halt, disengage, etc.

In my experience, 41uc can be interpreted either way. Either: Lessen your involvement. Or: make the sacrifice (two small bowls will suffice). The I Ching is leaving it totally up to you to make the choice.

Thank you for all your insights friends.

Interesting that in response to my question "Am I making a mistake putting so much energy in the issue?" I got 42 UC.

The questions were asked in the same period of time, that's why I take 41 UC the way I described.

Maybe it depends on which point of view you take. It's not a mistake if it increases the situation/the other party (42) and you are comfortable with that. But if you feel things aren't reciprocal or you don't feel good about putting in a lot of energy, withdrawing energy (41) is never a bad idea.
