38. Opposites · 睽 初九
Line 1 of hexagram 38
In practice
Don't try to join with anyone by force; it's important to recognize differences, however large. Even if someone close to you pulls away for a while, let them go: they'll come back on their own.
The poetry
Regret vanishes. The horse is lost: do not chase it; it comes back by itself. Seeing wicked people: no fault.
初九：悔亡，喪馬勿逐，自復；見惡人无咎。
象曰：見惡人，以辟咎也。
