A human being between two powers

A person stands with heaven above and earth below — the only one of the three that can go with the current or against it. The line does not say that obedience brings fortune in a moral sense; it says that a life aligned with its own season moves easily, and a life fighting its own chart meets resistance at every turn. This is the book's framing for free will: the chart gives the current, the person chooses the stroke.
