I Ching: Hexagram 3 - The Lines, Part 6

Six at the top means:
Horse and wagon part.
Bloody tears flow.


The difficulties at the beginning are too great for some persons. They get stuck and never find their way out; they fold their hands and give up the struggle. Such resignation is the saddest of all things. Therefore Confucius says of this line: "Bloody tears flow: one should not persist in this."
