Hexagram 59 · Line 2

Dispersion二九

Huan · Er Jiu

二九 · Er Jiu

The Line

In dispersion he hastens to his support. Remorse vanishes.

Interpretation

When one discovers in oneself the beginnings of estrangement from others, of misanthropy and ill-humor, then it is a matter of dispersing these stagnations. One must set out inwardly, hasten to one's support. Such a support of the human being lies never in hate, but always in a moderated and just judgment of people, paired with goodwill. If one regains this free view of humanity, through the scattering of all black-biled ill-humor, all occasion for remorse vanishes.
