I remember, I got this hexagram twice. The first time it was unchanging, I asked about the reason of one's burst of anger. For the second time I received it when I felt desperate about the matter, it seemed hopeless. Both times there could be hardly found a place for joy, and I was very confused - I was told about the joy when I felt very sad and hurt.
Lakes resting one on the other:

When, on the other hand, the hearts of men are won by friendliness, they are led to take all hardships upon themselves willingly, and if need be will not shun death itself, so great is the power of joy over men.
Developing this aspect, I would say, that the hexagram tells about mutual influence, an impact which is not ever pleasant.
For some reason I recall exorcists, expellers of demons who have to withstand against the powers they act upon.

I mentioned exorcism as a brightest example of targeted influence.
