Conclusion
Hexagram 61 is a great reminder on how we should act in a relationship. As humans, we want to be able to trust everyone we meet and in return allow others to trust what we have to say or do. This does not happen right away but it will take time to understand others and their potential for a long lasting relationship.
We cannot expect everyone will have the same philosophies and morals as ourselves. That is why it is important to investigate those we wish to grow a relationship with before taking the time to place our full trust in them.
