I Ching yesterday

The I Ching response to my question;

ken k'un

the splitting apart

IT does not further one
To go anywhere.
doesn't seems so auspicious!

yet...

The upper trigram stands for the mountain, whose attribute is
stillness. This suggests that one should submit to the bad time and remain
quiet. For it is a question not of man's doing but of time conditions, which,
according to the laws of heaven, show an alternation of increase and decrease,
fullness and emptiness. It is impossible to counteract these conditions of the
time. Hence it is not cowardice but wisdom to submit and avoid action.

hmm... do I ever do the right thing?
