Arguing, Dispute, Litigation, Lawsuit
Conflict develops when you are obstructed while in the right. Halt halfway and meet the opponent; pushing to the bitter end brings eternal enmity.
Heaven and water go opposite ways. Latent causes of conflict must be neutralized by carefully considering the beginning and defining rights.
Changing Lines๐
Line 1๐
Do not perpetuate the affair while conflict is incipient. Dropping the issue early ensures all goes well in the end.
Line 2๐
Timely withdrawal from an adversary of superior strength prevents bad consequences; false honor brings disaster upon the community.
Line 3๐
Nourish yourself on ancient virtue. Maintain what is honestly yours, do your duty, and let superiors take the outer prestige.
Line 4๐
Submit to fate, change your inner attitude, and find lasting peace in eternal law when you realize right is not on your side.
Line 5 โ ๐
Ruling line. Contend before a powerful, just arbiter. Turn the dispute over with confidence; if you are in the right, great fortune follows.
Line 6๐
Triumphs won by carrying conflict to the bitter end yield hollow decorations that will be attacked and snatched away repeatedly.
