Judgment Description

In this situation, you have a crisis in your hands when you find that the people, who are your subordinates, can no longer be controlled. There is thus no relation maintained with them. However, although your power of influence no longer exists, you still remain firm to your principles.

Judgment Poem

Standstill. Evil people do not further The perseverance of the superior man.The great departs; the small approaches.

Image Poem
