00:00:00,103 --> 00:00:03,148
Slack lights up. One comment turns into a pile-on.

2
00:00:03,636 --> 00:00:05,226
Your face is hot.

3
00:00:05,531 --> 00:00:06,682
The reply is written.

4
00:00:06,987 --> 00:00:08,550
Your finger is on Send.

5
00:00:08,881 --> 00:00:09,878
Fight — or stop?

6
00:00:10,370 --> 00:00:14,098
The Neijing has a name for this: anger sends qi upward.

7
00:00:14,429 --> 00:00:17,345
Heat rising — not something to just swallow.

8
00:00:17,803 --> 00:00:19,908
Held-in anger doesn't disappear.

9
00:00:20,213 --> 00:00:24,366
In this tradition, qi needs a way out — for you, and for the room.

10
00:00:24,870 --> 00:00:29,487
The I Ching calls it Hexagram 6, Conflict — heaven above,

11
00:00:29,625 --> 00:00:31,961
water below, pulling apart.

12
00:00:32,436 --> 00:00:34,077
It doesn't ask who's loudest.

13
00:00:34,382 --> 00:00:37,621
It asks: can you step out before the fight owns you?

14
00:00:37,900 --> 00:00:40,392
Same fight, two classical shapes.

15
00:00:40,710 --> 00:00:42,892
Both say: don't feed it to the end.

16
00:00:43,383 --> 00:00:48,812
Pile on, or stuff it down — either way, the thread owns your night.

17
00:00:49,303 --> 00:00:51,549
So: mute it. Say one short boundary.

18
00:00:52,003 --> 00:00:53,747
Or walk until your shoulders drop.

19
00:00:54,052 --> 00:00:55,512
Stepping out isn't weak.

20
00:00:55,970 --> 00:00:58,371
Bring it back later, with someone fair in the room.

21
00:00:58,676 --> 00:01:00,819
Argue the work — not the person.

22
00:01:01,303 --> 00:01:05,521
Today's fight: clamp it, fight it to the end — or give it a way out?
