I Ching: Hexagram 18 - The Lines, Part 3

Nine in the third place means:
Setting right what has been spoiled by the father.
There will be a little remorse. No great blame.


This describes a man who proceeds a little too energetically in righting the mistakes of the past. Now and then, as a result, minor discourse and annoyances will surely develop. But too much energy is better than too little. Therefore, although he may at times have slight cause for regret, he remains free of any serious blame.
