Of all the times I've gotten this as an outcome this was the easiest one to understand.  For one moment in the privacy of my own mind I asked myself if I could profit personally from a business relationship and the I-Ching slapped me firmly and totally up the side of the head.  I can't stress enough that while nothing can predict the future, the tool can answer questions for us that we wouldn't really want to ask.  It can also serve to remind us who and what we are and that no matter how long we live in a den of thieves we must never dream of sinking to their level or begin justifying our actions by the famous words everyone does it.  A complete stranger, reading this might either conclude I was contemplating something horrible (not really the case) or would question me for a fool for even considering that I was contemplating something wrong.  What the I-ching can do is tailor an answer unique to us.  I have spent my entire life living with a professional code of ethics that would sound something like Lancelot in the song "C'est Moi".  But like Jimmy Carter I have found that I'm capable of the occasional impure thought, but the I-Ching has said action on such a thought will lead to the darkening of my internal light.
