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

What is in my attitude that impede to other to approach me for help?
and received a response of:
11 Prospering
The Statement of the first hexagram
Prospering: the vile goes,
the great comes.
Fortune. Continue.
The changing lines
The first line:
Pulled couch grass
uproots more with it by entwined roots.
Snatch it: fortune.
The second line:
Encompass the wasteland by crossing the river
without a boat, but do not advance so far
that you abandon comrades to perish.
Win honor by a middle course.
The third line:
No flat without a slope. No advance without
return. Be steadfast in difficulty.
No fault, no grief. The other is sincere:
in feasting there will be happiness.
2 Earth
The Statement of the second hexagram
Earth: maker, everywhere.
Gain from a mare's purity.
The noble one wanting to go far
is first confused, but later finds guidance.
Gain friends in the west and south,
Lose friends in the east and north.
Peace: this is a sign of fortune.
The Image of the first hexagram
Heaven and earth combine:
prospering.
The empress uses wealth
to fulfill the way
of heaven and earth.
She supports the order
of heaven and earth for
people on all sides.
The Image of the second hexagram
Ground as the power
of earth:
the noble one generously
supports all things.
