#receptive

This was part of the I Ching that I need to learn more about today. It's basically saying to remain neutral and not react when something I've done incites anger/judgment from others.

Not everyone is going to understand and it's a waste of time to track down each person who doesn't "get it" and try to change their mind. Let people have whatever narratives help them sleep at night. (Even if it means being the villain in their story.)

Being sensitive and detached are not contraries, they are not opposites... If you are more sensitive, you will be detached; or, if you are detached, you will become more and more sensitive... Sensitivity is not attachment, sensitivity is awareness. Only an aware person can be sensitive... If you are not aware you will be insensitive... When you are unconscious you are totally insensitive —the more consciousness, the more sensitivity...
