The Army, Line 1

The Army must set forth in proper order.

First, before you engage in a “battle,” be sure your cause is fair and just. Then put the appropriate organization and discipline in place.

Yesterday, our main message told us “Discipline and control, employed toward a common goal, bring ‘good fortune without blame.’ ”

With today’s Line 1, you are advised to first be sure your cause is fair and just. No problem there — your website is about the I Ching. But the “appropriate organization?”

You need to hire — or find — someone who has the skills you lack.

Tomorrow: . . . the army carries corpses in the wagon. Misfortune.
