(Moderation or Fidelity): Reaching the end of one's road and suffering from difficult, painful circumstances, there are still things one will not stoop to; when faced with life or death in time of turmoil, one does not compromise principle. fidelity is the moral fiber that keeps a woman from marrying two husbands or a loyal subject from serving two rulers. It is inner strength that will not bend or be intimidated--a concentration of Heaven and earth's righteous energies. Chieh also means moderation avoiding excess in the use of things.
