Read the ITJING, Li the clinging, fire.

quote: nine in the fourth place

Its coming is sudden,
It flames up, dies down, is thrown away.

Clarity of mind has the same relation to life that fire has to wood. Fire clings to wood, but also consumes it. Clarity of mind is rooted in life but can also consume it. Everything depends upon how the clarity functions. Here the image used is that of a meteor or a straw fire. A man who is excitable and restless may rise quickly to prominence but produces no lasting effects. Thus matters end badly when a man spends himself too rapidly and consumes himself like meteor.

The choice is always your own&#33; When I read your post it just reminded me of that line in the I Tjing......

I Tjing......

what is it? like a book of teachings or something?

[denis123]

The Itjing is an old chinese orakel and is available in English. It is indeed a book of teachings.

... So i decided to ask the I tjing how it would describe this forum&#33;&#33; Its answer? number 48. The Well. Line 6 was the line that was highlighted.

One draws from the well
Without hinderance
It is dependable
Supreme good fortune.

The well is there for all. No one is forbidden to take water from it. No matter how many come, all find what they need, for the well is dependable. It has a spring and never runs dry. Therfore it is a great blessing to the whole land. The same is true of the really great man, whose inner wealth is inexhaustable; the more people draw from him, the greater his wealth becomes.

I think that this is a fair description of this forum, don&#39;t you?
