It is time for the wise to retreat. Retreat is not fight. To flee, to escape danger in any circumstance, is cowardly. but retreating can also be aimed at preserving one's strength, waiting for the right time for future advance.
A wise person uses strength properly when the time is not right.
it is better for the wise to retreat, keeping steadfast and upright for future advancement.
Retreat
Prosperous and Smooth
The little: favorable to be steadfast and upright
Great indeed is the significance of retreat at the proper time.
Mountain under heaven, an image of retreat.
the superior person keeps inferior persons at a distance, with dignity but without ill will.
