11. Well-Being · 泰 九二

Line 2 of hexagram 11

In practice

It's favorable to take decisive action that gets you out of your comfort zone and to recognize the people around you. There's no need to push anyone away; it's enough to know each person's nature.

The poetry

Embracing the untilled. Wading across the river; not forgetting the distant; leaving friends behind. So it is honored on the middle way.

九二:包荒。用馮河,不遐遺;朋亡。得尚于中行。

象曰:包荒,得尚于中行,以光大也。
