Meet conflict with a willingness to negotiate rather than with intransigence. A victory in war waged to the bitter end will require a constant defense of what was won. A triumph of diplomacy will allow everyone to move on. It lays a path for conduct in future disagreements.

Today: The message carried on the wind is clear – from the I Ching
The message carried on the wind is clear.
It cries for reform in human behavior. Without reform, we are doomed to experiencing the same message over and over.
The beginning has not been good, but the moment has been reached when a new direction can be taken. Change and improvement are called for.
What has been spoiled through man’s fault can be made good again through man’s work. It is not immutable fate that has caused the state of corruption, but rather the abuse of human freedom. Work toward improving conditions promises well…
We must identify the causes of corruption, eradicate them, and never return to that state of neglect and apathy.

Today: repair the structures that have been in decay – from the I Ching
It is time to repair the structures that have been in decay for so long do to neglect and corruption stemming from blatant egotism. One cannot do this alone, but rather must call upon one’s countrymen to come together in spirit and deed to reform the processes that have led to this sorry state. The elements of consciousness are present for this to happen. We must look within ourselves and choose our leaders wisely.
But only a man who is himself free of all selfish ulterior considerations, and who perseveres in justice and steadfastness, is capable of so dissolving the hardness of egotism.
