Translation

Personal Guidance

Suddenly every soldier in the camp cannot pass urine or stool — one person's offense paralyzes an entire community. Group consequences quickly trace back to individual lapses.

Reflection Questions

When my community suffers, do I look at what I individually contributed to the blockage?
What overlooked offense might be the hidden cause of a stuck situation in my circle?
