Act Quickly

Complete this. Go swiftly. This is not a mistake. Discussing Diminishes it. Make the connection quickly. Do not let discussion diminish your resolve. You have to correct a far-reaching error. Punish those who must be punished and set your spirit free. Do not sit there while weeping blood is coursing down all around you. Something significant is returning now. Be open and provide what is needed.

初九, 已事遄往, 无咎, 酌損之.

Going quickly when one's tasks are finished Is without blame. But one must reflect on how much one may decrease others. ##### Comments It is unselfish and good when a man, after completing his own urgent tasks, uses his strength in the service of others, and without bragging or making much of it, helps quickly where help is needed. But the man in a superior position who is thus aided must weigh carefully how much he can accept without doing the helpful servant or friend real harm. Only where such delicacy of feeling exists can one give oneself unconditionally and without hesitation.
