Hexagram 11 line 6

When prosperity leads to decay, misfortune follows. Imagine an ancient city’s wall collapsing into its moat, bolstering access instead of protection. In times of collapse, it helps no one to fight against overwhelming odds. Moral strength is called for instead of violence.

Likewise, in times of peace, necessary defenses can erode; the fortress can still become vulnerable to attack. Try not to be like the citizens who, having become lazy and indifferent, put their homes at risk. Be prepared for external problems. Do not allow yourself to become complacent.
