Work on What has been Spoiled
New Year's Resolutions
[that I came up with this afternoon whilst walking my beagle in th snow]
- every single day, further my development of self-awareness & self-discipline.
- every single day, speak only th truth - speak not lies - learn to think in E Prime.
- every single day, actively embrace with joy (& never with terror) th absurdity of th universe.
That seems a good beginning.
Ah, I know of a hexagram from th Book of Changes that fits this "resolution" game:
18. Ku
WORK on WHAT has been SPOILED [DECAY]
Work on what has been spoiled
Has supreme success.
It furthers one to cross th great water.
Before th starting point, 3 days.
After th starting point, 3 days.
¤
Th wind blows low on th mountain:
Th image of decay.
Thus th superior man stirs up th people
& strengthens their spirit.
