Heng / Durability

Thirty-Second Hexagram Arousing Thunder and penetrating Wind, close companions in any storm: The Superior Person possesses a resiliency and durability that lets him remain firmly and faithfully on course. Such constancy deserves success.

Changing Lines Line Six Constant only in his inconstancy, even fortune is eventually exhausted. Line Five To submit to insult is to invite injury. Line Four No game in the field. Line Three He must remain constant, or the only permanence will reside in disgrace. Line Two These bad feelings will pass. Line One He pledges his love too hastily, and awaits her promise in return. This stunts the natural growth of affection.
