Work On What Has Been
Spoiled
But, once
again, there is reason to view all of this with
calm temperance and gentle confidence in your
ability to work it all out successfully with your
husband. Thus, in the second of the verses that
have been highlighted specifically by
today’s Reading from the image of Work on
What Has Been Spoiled, the oracle says,
“Setting right what has been spoiled by the
father. One meets with praise.” In short,
you will find just precisely the right way to
handle these issues between you and your husband,
with love and forbearance.
You
should be aware that this will involve a somewhat
prolonged period of gradual reform. This idea is
expressed explicitly in the Judgment associated
with the image of Work on What Has Been Spoiled.
Here, the oracle says, “Work on What Has
Been Spoiled has supreme success. It furthers one
to cross the great water. Before the starting
point, three days. After the starting point,
three days.” A great commentator on this
verse, Richard Wilhelm, says the following:
“Success depends on proper deliberation. We
must first know the causes of corruption before
we can do away with them; hence it is necessary
to be cautious during the time before the start.
Then we must see to it that the new way is safely
entered upon, so that a relapse may be avoided;
therefore we must pay attention to the time after
the start. Decisiveness and energy must take the
place of the inertia and indifference that have
led to decay, in order that the ending may be
followed by a new beginning.”
Avoid
precipitate actions and confrontations. This is
not the time to be making new and dramatic
demands, not the time to rely on words to reform
long established practice, not the time to jump
boldly into new ways of doing things. Find
indirect and, above all, gentle ways of making
your husband aware of your dissatisfaction with
things as they are, of your need for greater
engagement with the world outside the home, of
the artistic talent that cries out for expression
from your innermost soul. Remember that life is
long. With the love that you and your husband
share, you will succeed with “supreme
success” to fulfill yourself in every way.
