Zhuge Oracle Lesson 165 “Doubt, and doubt, and doubt—”: In matters tinged with suspicion, don't try anything rashly; think it over again and again and seek the truth before deciding, lest joy turn to sorrow.

From the complete 384-lesson Zhuge Shen Shu (Zhuge Oracle) system.

Oracle Text

Doubt, and doubt, and doubt—
one round of laughter, then a round of grief;
fallen petals fill the ground, with none to sweep them,
alone you face the west wind, brows of kohl forlorn.

Interpretation

In matters tinged with suspicion, don't try anything rashly; think it over again and again and seek the truth before deciding, lest joy turn to sorrow.
