其所薄者厚

What it means

Priorities reversed; what deserves care is being neglected.

"Treating lightly what should be valued, and valuing what should be treated lightly": priorities reversed. Ask whether you are neglecting the person who truly matters while pouring energy into what doesn't deserve it.

Original context

From the Great Learning: "If the root is in disorder, the branches cannot be well ordered; to be cold where one should be warm and warm where one should be cold has never succeeded."

Text: the 100-lot Matchmaker (Yue Lao) oracle used in Taiwan. Most lots quote classical texts; sources were checked against the originals, obvious copying errors corrected, and uncertain sources marked as such.
