Hello!
Some of you know I am an amateur equestrian. That is: I do not own horses, I rent them, go to competitions, etc. But I work 9-6, M-F in an office. I am not poor nor rich but I have no debts. My husband and I come from traditional families and we were taught not to show off but to keep a low profile.
The horse I'm renting is about to be sold. So, yesterday, the seller (a guy that's staying in our barn only for a few months), other grooms and the owner of the horse were talking that they will do the same offer to me first, as I've been riding the horse this year and invested a good amount of time and money on him.
My groom, who is my right hand and someone I trust blindly, told me that the seller and the other grooms started saying bad things about me: "what for are you offering the horse to her, she is a dry" (a pejorative expression in Spanish for someone that is poor "ser una seca"), "of course she will say no, she is a rat". (Again another pejorative expression for someone poor).
My groom heard all this and almost started to fight to save my honor. When he told me all this I told him we are not punching no-one, we are forgetting all those comments. But the truth is I am pretty hurt And I don't know how to react to such offense. I do want to do something but I don't know what.
So I asked the I Ching how to respond to these insults?
Hex 12.5 to 35
It seems that the yi is telling me to block these guys, I understand as not engaging in a fight but pretending they don't exist. Actually the yi says "Blocking it, non-people" pretend they are not there. Ignore them. These guys are not people they are a piece of wood, a saddle, you don't talk t to non-living things right?
I don't rally understand the line 5...
35 in the image says "a nobles own light shines in his character" so I understand I must maintain this "block" for a time.
As a note: 35 talks about breeding and multiplying horses ... it quite a direct image that might have a metaphorical meaning but hey it made my day :)
So, what do you think? Is my interpretation correct?
Thanks
Love
