Hexagram Name: Releasing

Line 1 comment: No fault.

Line 2 comment: Capturing three foxes in the field, receiving yellow arrows. Pure fortune.

Line 3 comment: Shouldering a bundle on the back, and riding a carriage attracts bandits: pure severity.

Line 4 comment: Releasing the big toe. Friends arrive, and with them, confidence.

Line 5 comment: The superior one rules by releasing. Fortune. One has the confidence of the common people.

Line 6 comment: The duke uses this chance to shoot a hawk from the top of the ramparts. Nothing but gain in capturing.

The image Thunder and rain act: releasing. The noble one pardons errors and forgives offenses.

Without asking.
We are all egotists…. Me not different… I am thinking now if I can be of help to you instead of destruction….? What can I do, may be just to disappear? If that is what you’ll ask- ill do it. You know, at least it easy with me, you asked to not write, and I didn’t. Tell me what can I do? Ill try to fallow your wishes correctly… Or may be you’d like me to write the songs and to dedicate it to you- ill try to do that To design a house of your dreams- ill do that Well, to get some connections for you- I am good at that as a hell. Just spare me of being a suspect that ryes to get you. I know you for centuries within It is important now to get some thing done for you personally, so you can feel it is for you only Tell me what is your caprice.? Sounds silly- you’d think what she can do- well, I am very strong and multitalented, guess what, perhaps I can do some thing… And please, forget about that crazy replay- thank you I am asking directly, since finally I sow it clearly- you need support.
