Hi everyone, this thread comes here after I read the insights on 7uc.
I am a bit puzzled however, that this Hexagram is very seldom read in a more belligerent way (I guess indeed that the Yi Jing is never meant to be belligerent).
Has nobody ever gotten 7uc in a situation that needed to "stand up and fight"? The reason I ask this is: a year ago I was fed up of trying to talk my ex-wife into having shared custody of our son (I had him 5 days every two weeks at that point). My question was "should I be firmer in this discussion and take it to the courts"? (in the country I live, by law, any parent that asks for shared custody will have it granted.
Anyhow, the person that made this reading at the time, saw this 7uc as "be open, endure this, be disciplined in order to see what prevents you to understand and speak openly to your ex-wife". Still to this day I feel that this 7uc could have been read as "mobilize your armies and fight (in court) for this"...What is your take on this?
