Duì (兌) — The Joyous

Lake doubled — joy that refreshes without depleting, openness that doesn't exhaust itself. "Joyous — success; perseverance is favorable." The persistence of genuine joy requires that it be genuinely given rather than performed. The exchange where both people leave with more than they arrived with — that's the structure this hexagram names. Openness that isn't naivety.
