ALLUSION
Allusion
The ancient story tells of an old man at the frontier who lost a horse. People came to console him, but he said, 'How do you know this is not a blessing?' Later, the horse returned with another horse. People came to congratulate him, but he said, 'How do you know this is not a misfortune?' His son rode the new horse and broke his leg. Again, the old man remained calm. Later, when men were conscripted to build the Qin wall, his son was spared because of the injury, and the family preserved its life. Such is the reversal of fortune.
Those who draw this lot should neither become elated by present good fortune nor crushed by present setbacks. Settle your mind, act with kindness, and keep doing what is right. This lot suggests reversals are still possible; good and bad are not fixed. As with the old man at the frontier, accept present reality calmly, whether it appears fortunate or unfortunate. In the end, cause and effect will reveal themselves. In all matters, proceed carefully to avoid harm.
