HEXAGRAM 6: ARGUMENT

To go all the way to the end will bring misfortune. Better to go half way. Favorable for an audience with an important person. Unfavorable for crossing the water.

The Lines (base to top)

Some tasks shouldn't last too long
Watch out for the boss today
Flavorless food disappoints
Some arguments can't be won
Who knows what the answer is
Honors are sometimes withdrawn

Commentary

Heaven over water. Strength above, danger below. Things could get out of control. A time to be prudent.
