Sweet Moderation

Sweet Articulating. The Way is open. Going on like this brings honor. Articulate your thoughts with sweetness, grace and delight. Let go of what you habitually depend on. Take the woman’s perspective, watching from hiding to catch a sight of the new. The knowledge proper to a great leader is nearing now. Your sorrows will disappear. Something important is returning.

Sweet limitation brings good fortune. Going brings esteem. ##### Comments The limitation must be carried out in the right way if it is to be effective. If we seek to impose restrictions on others only, while evading them ourselves, these restrictions will always be resented and will provoke resistance. If, however, a man in a leading position applies the limitation first to himself, demanding little from those associated with him, and with modest means manages to achieve something, good fortune is the result. Where such an example occurs, it meets with emulation, so that whatever is undertaken must succeed.
