Like climbing a tree to catch fish; change your approach.
"Seeking what you want this way is like climbing a tree to catch fish." The method is wrong, so effort is wasted. Change your approach, or rethink what you truly want.
| Single | Your approach isn't working; try a different way. |
|---|---|
| Dating | Communication is off; adjust rather than insist. |
| Married | Find the real root of the problem and address that. |
From Mencius: King Xuan of Qi wanted to dominate by force; Mencius said pursuing that wish by those means "is like climbing a tree to look for fish", not only futile but dangerous.
