Read a record of the questions asked of I Ching, read the response, and read the comments of others

Have I been too forceful and gone the wrong way?
and received a response of:
1 Heaven
The Statement of the first hexagram
Heaven: maker, pervasive,
bountiful, and pure.
The changing lines
The first line:
A sunken dragon.
Do not act.
The second line:
Seeing a dragon in the field.
Gain by seeing a great person.
The third line:
At day's end, the noble one is still diligent.
At night, he is alert to peril
and stays without fault.
The fourth line:
Someone may leap from the depths.
Be without fault.
20 Beholding
The Statement of the second hexagram
Behold! The hands have been washed,
but the offering has not yet been made.
Be sincere and dignified in appearance.
The Image of the first hexagram
Heaven moves with power:
the noble one never stops
strengthening himself.
The Image of the second hexagram
The wind moving above
the earth: beholding.
The ancient kings
inspected the provinces
and territories to establish
the right teachings.
