Hexagram 20 • Contemplation • Line 2

Six in the Second Place

The ancient Chinese said for this line,
“Watching through the crack of a door …”
advising that it was acceptable for a woman
to have a narrow view of the world
and not acceptable for a man.
Keeping a woman inside the house
before marriage was a way to guard her chastity.
How does this work in today’s world? In the free world?
Could having a narrow view of what is outside have value?
Contemplating: Maybe … depending on the situation?

We tend to view everything from our own limited perspective.
Work on having a larger understanding of your experience.
