The Judgement

Evil people do not further the perseverance of the noble one. The great departs; the small approaches.

Stagnation and blockage; withdraw, economize, wait it out.

The Image

Heaven and earth do not unite; the noble one falls back on his inner worth in order to escape the difficulties, and does not permit himself to be honored with revenue.

Hard to find for now. It may be shut away — a drawer, a box, a car. If it cannot be found, accept that and arrange an alternative.
