Line Commentary
He dissolves his bond with his group. Supreme good fortune. Dispersion leads in turn to accumulation—something ordinary people do not think of. When working at a task that affects the general welfare, leave all private friendships out of account. Only by rising above party interests can you achieve something decisive. He who has the courage to forego what is near wins what is afar.
