The Lines
1. [9] Sudden Change often appears as sudden loss at first.
But after this initial reaction, a man realizes that change need not mean
disaster, but can lead to its very opposite and produce advancement instead.
Thus, change brings the occasion for real joy.
2. [6] Sudden Change often does indeed produce great and
unavoidable loss. But the change also creates new situations in which the loss
is recoverable. Thus, while taking necessary precautions to avoid further loss,
the wise man awaits the opportunity to recover his losses in the new situations
that are brought about.
3. [6] A Sudden Change of events can bring catastrophe, and
the man is at a loss for what to do. In the face of such confusion and change,
a man cannot know what steps he should take, and is inclined to passively
submit to his fate. But inactivity is not the answer. If he will seize the
initiative, a way out of the disaster can be found.
4. [9] Not every Sudden Change can be turned to advantage.
If a situation is unyielding, if no chance for recovery opens up, then a person
is stuck with nowhere to go.
5. [6] When a series of Sudden Changes befall a man, there
is a danger of being swept away by it all in a haze of confusion. Thus it is
important that the man focus clearly on his rightful course and keep that ever
in mind, regardless of the turn of events.
6. [6] Disastrous change results in confusion and loss of
direction. A man finds it impossible to determine in which direction he should
proceed. Whatever he might do only promises to make things worse. Under such
circumstances, the wise man comes to a halt and refuses to proceed with any
kind of plan. He listens to no one, but waits until a rightful path becomes
clear to him. By doing nothing until the time is right, he saves himself from
harm.
