HEXAGRAM 24 \u2013 Fu – Return (The Turning Point)<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Above <\/span>          <\/span>K’UN  <\/span>THE RECEPTIVE, EARTH <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Below          <\/span>CHEN <\/span>THE AROUSING, THUNDER<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The idea of a turning point arises from the fact that <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>after<\/font><\/font><\/span> the dark lines<\/font><\/span> have pushed all of the light lines <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>upward and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>out of the hexagram,<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>another light line<\/font><\/font><\/span> enters the hexagram from below<\/font><\/span>.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The time of darkness is past<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b>.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The winter solstice brings the victory of light.<\/font><\/span><\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

This hexagram is linked with the eleventh month, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

the month of the solstice (December-January).<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

THE JUDGMENT<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

RETURN.  <\/span>Success.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>Going out and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>coming in without error.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Friends come without blame. <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

To and fro goes the way. <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

On the seventh day comes return.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

It furthers one to have somewhere to go.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

After a time of decay<\/font><\/span> comes the turning point<\/font><\/span>.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The powerful light<\/font><\/span> that has been banished returns<\/font><\/span>.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

There is movement,<\/font><\/span> but <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

it is not brought about by force<\/font><\/span>.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The upper trigram K’un is characterized by devotion<\/font><\/span>; thus <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

the movement <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>is natural<\/font><\/span>, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>arising spontaneously<\/font><\/span>.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

For this reason the transformation<\/font><\/span> of the old becomes easy<\/font><\/span>.<\/b><\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>The old<\/font><\/span> is discarded and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>the new<\/font><\/span> is introduced.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Both measures <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>accord<\/font><\/font><\/span> with the time; therefore <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>no harm<\/font><\/font><\/span> results.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Societies of people<\/font><\/font><\/span> sharing the same views are formed.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

But <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

since these groups <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>come together in full public knowledge<\/font><\/span> and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>are in harmony with the time<\/font><\/span>,<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>all selfish separatist tendencies<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b> are excluded, and <\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>no mistake is made.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The idea of RETURN is based on the course of nature.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>The movement is cyclic, and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>the course completes itself<\/font><\/font><\/span>.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>it is not necessary to hasten<\/font><\/span> anything artificially.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>Everything comes of itself at the appointed time<\/font><\/span>.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

This is the meaning of heaven and earth<\/font><\/font><\/span>.<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

All movements <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>are accomplished in six stages, and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>the seventh brings return<\/font><\/font><\/span>.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Thus <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>the Winter solstice, with which the decline of the year begins, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>comes in the seventh month after<\/font><\/span> the summer solstice; <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

so too <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>sunrise <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>comes in the seventh double hour after<\/font><\/span> sunset.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>seven<\/font><\/font><\/span> is the number of the young light, and<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>it arises when six<\/font><\/span>, the number of the great darkness, is increased by one.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

In this way <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

the state of rest gives place to movement.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

THE IMAGE<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Thunder within the earth:  <\/span>The image of THE TURNING POINT. <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Thus the kings of antiquity closed the passes <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

At the time of solstice. <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>Merchants and strangers did not go about, And <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>the ruler Did not travel through the provinces.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The winter solstice has always been celebrated in China as <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

the resting time<\/font><\/font><\/span> of the year \u2013 <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

a custom that survives in the time of rest observed at the new year.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

In winter the life energy<\/font><\/span>, symbolized by thunder, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

the Arousing is still underground.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Movement<\/font><\/font><\/span> is just at its beginning; therefore <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>it must be strengthened by rest<\/font><\/span>, so that <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>it will not be dissipated<\/font><\/span> by being used prematurely.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

This principle, i.e., <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

of allowing energy that is renewing itself to be reinforced by rest, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

applies to all similar situations<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b>.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>The return of health<\/font><\/span> after illness, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>the return of understanding<\/font><\/span> after an estrangement: <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

everything must be treated <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>tenderly and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>with care <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

at<\/font><\/font><\/span> the beginning, <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

so that the return may lead to a flowering<\/font><\/span>.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

THE LINES<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Six in the second place means: <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/u><\/p>\n

Quiet return.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Good fortune.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Return always <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>calls for a decision<\/font><\/span> and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>is an act of self-mastery<\/font><\/span>.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

It is made easier if a man is in good company<\/font><\/span>.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

If he <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>can bring himself to put aside pride and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>follow the example of good men, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

good fortune results<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b>.<\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Six in the fifth place means:<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/u><\/p>\n

Noblehearted return.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

No remorse.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

When the time for return has come, a man <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>should not take shelter<\/font><\/span> in trivial excuses<\/font><\/span>, but <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>should look within and examine<\/font><\/span> himself.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

And if <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>he has done something wrong <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>he should make a noblehearted resolve<\/font><\/span> to confess his fault<\/font><\/span>.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

No one will regret having taken this road.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

HEXAGRAM 60 \u2013 Chieh – Limitation<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Above <\/span>          <\/span>K’AN   <\/span>THE ABYSMAL, WATER <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Below <\/span>          <\/span>TUI    <\/span>THE JOYOUS, LAKE<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

A lake occupies a limited<\/font><\/span> space.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

When more water comes into it, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

it overflows<\/font><\/span>.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore limits<\/font><\/span> must be set for the water. <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The image shows <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>water below and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>water above, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

with the firmament between them as a <\/font>limit.<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The Chinese word for limitation really denotes <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

the joints that divide a bamboo stalk.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>In relation to ordinary life <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>it means the thrift<\/font><\/span> that sets fixed limits upon expenditures.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>In relation to the moral sphere <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>it means the fixed limits<\/font><\/span> that the superior man sets upon his actions \u2013 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00a7<\/font><\/font>  <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>the limits of <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>loyalty and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>disinterestedness.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

THE JUDGMENT<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

LIMITATION.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Success.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Galling limitation must not be persevered in.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>Limitations are troublesome,<\/font><\/span> <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

but <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>they are effective.<\/font><\/span><\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

If <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>we live economically<\/font><\/span> in normal times, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>we are prepared<\/font><\/span> for times of want.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

To be sparing<\/font><\/span> saves us from humiliation.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Limitations are also indispensable in the regulation<\/font><\/span> of world conditions.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

In nature there are <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>fixed limits for summer and winter, day and night, and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>these limits give the year its meaning.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

In the same way, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

economy<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b>, by <\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>setting fixed limits<\/font><\/span> upon expenditures, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>acts to <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>preserve<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b> property and <\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>prevent<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b> injury to the people.<\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

But in limitation <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

we must observe due measure<\/font><\/span>. <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

If <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>a man should seek to impose galling limitations<\/font><\/span> upon his own nature, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>it would be injurious<\/font><\/span>.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

And if <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>he should go too far in imposing limitations<\/font><\/span> on others, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>they would rebel.<\/font><\/span><\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

it is necessary to set <\/font>limits even upon limitations<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

THE IMAGE<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Water over lake: the image of LIMITATION. <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Thus the superior man<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>Creates number and measure<\/font><\/span>, And <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>examines<\/font><\/font><\/span> the nature of <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>virtue and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>correct conduct.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

A lake is something limited.<\/font><\/span><\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Water is inexhaustible.<\/font><\/span><\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>A lake can contain only a definite<\/font><\/span> amount of the infinite<\/font><\/span> quantity of water; <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>this is its peculiarity.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>In human life too the individual achieves significance<\/font><\/span> through <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>discrimination and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>the setting of limits.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore what concerns us here is <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

the problem of clearly defining<\/font><\/span> these discriminations, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

which are, so to speak, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

the backbone of morality.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Unlimited possibilities<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b> are not suited to man; <\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>if they existed, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>his life would only dissolve in the boundless.<\/font><\/span><\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

To become strong, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>a man’s life needs<\/font><\/span> the limitations <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>ordained by duty and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>voluntarily accepted.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The individual attains significance<\/font><\/span> as a free spirit only <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>by surrounding<\/font><\/span> himself with these limitations and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>by determining<\/font><\/span> for himself what his duty is.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n
