By: James Byrd
I.The Oracle

B. The Judgment
1. The Joyous. Success.2. Perseverance is favorable.
C. The Image
1. Lakes resting one on the other:a) The image of The Joyous.
b) Thus the superior man joins with his friends
For discussion and practice.
II. My interpretation
A. "The Joyous"
Joyously having fun is the tune to accord with now. Amongst these celebrations there abides much talking to the excess of misunderstood clamor. Talking to the tail of an arrow our words must at this time do so as such ---target; "Stright talk."
Don't push the downtrodden too far, because the compound effect of those past malignant demands will be mistakenly credited to your account as well, for no reason. Be straight honesty, then move on with the process of being joyous but, keep the busybody clamor down for the moment.

With this hexagram, we can see gladness to the extent that
the crowd follows the lead of the spokesperson to the tune of a buffalo stampede
type endeavor. All this is due to the deep interactions between the friends as
they might set and examine the deep-held secrets within that particular group
norm. This builds a sense of non-competitiveness within that group; the atmosphere
is somewhat pleasant.
In sadness, the group will hold the same sentiment as when
there are times of pleasure. Such is when the team, wins there is joy within
that moment, but when the team loses, there is much talk about reconciliation. Same
as when there are times of bereavement all involved or as a collective
membership will be affected by that event, and naturally If in any case there
is talk in that direction let that talk be short, gentle, sincere and honest –straight
to the fact and not beat around the bush. Too much talk leads to trouble,
folks.
Pleasure is sometimes due, but know your personal limits,
such as marching to the tune of the drummer, let’s not forget the drummer at
some point has to rest, or else the group will be out of step.
