A few words about the condtion.

Forgiveness is for giving. It is difficult to one to know how to give love if you’ve never received. Often the emotion gets twisted when the attention you receive is an attack disguised as love, or when a complement you receive turns out to be a clever insult. You can either choose to play the game on their turf, or learn to go beyond the endless cycle of sadomasochism.

A lesson for the Metal element is to know that the life at this stage is the game of survival, and everyone is for himself. Right or wrong, there is nothing you can do for the action of others’ free will. Find a way to make peace with yourself and let go of hate. Wash it all way.
