Misfortune
有径江海隔
車行峻嶺危
亦防多進退
猶恐小人虧
In English
- There is a path, but rivers and seas divide it
- the cart climbs perilous ridges
- guard against going back and forth too much
- and beware of harm from petty people
- Meaning
- The first half is about the road, cut off by water and climbing dangerous ridges; the second is about people, warning against too much back and forth and against petty folk. Misfortune here touches both, so this looks like a stretch for small, steady steps.
- What to do today
- Check whether your schedule is too packed, and drop one item.
- A word from the capybara
- A steep mountain road is best skipped in favor of resting at the foot.
