A MATTER OF TRUST - HEXAGRAM 17 LINE 3.

 

A DIFFICULT TRANSACTION

I had had a lot of trouble with my PayPal account. My account was Thai, but I live in Cambodia, and PayPal will not download money to Cambodian banks. I get paid by PayPal, so this is a big problem.

An old friend of mine, Bruce, let me use his account, but he had trouble finding a transfer service and did not want to transfer from bank to bank for tax reasons. Bruce was also sick with a bad vaccine injury and was not in good shape to be bothered with this problem.

I had another friend, Wesley, who lived here, and she agreed to accept a PayPal transfer. She would then pay me in cash.

Now, Bruce I knew him well, and I was sure of his reliability. Wesley, I only knew her for a short time. She seemed as good as gold, but it still crosses your mind that there might be a problem.

Still, it all worked fine, and I got my cash!

  Six in the third place means:
        If one clings to the strong man,
        One loses the little boy.
        Through following one finds what one seeks.
        It furthers one to remain persevering

I had to forget Bruce who was sick 

and could not be expected 

to do much. Instead, I turned to 

Wesley, who was strong and 

able to get the job done.
