SYMBOL TRADITION

Standstill.

A wise man is thrifty to avoid hardship and does not spend money on luxury and elegance.

 

This situation is the result of the work of evil people; inwardly weak and outwardly hard. The empty horizon is due to general poverty and lack of movement. The advice is to withdraw and not to get involved in the dealings of the evil people. The prospects are not good, now, but the times will change, and the standstill will not last forever. You will just have to endure it while it lasts.
