Every day we face serendipity and uncertainty. We plan to do certain things but we end up doing something else. We take actions to solve problems but we do not know whether our actions are effective. We make decisions to end conflicts and controversies but we do not know whether our decisions are helpful. To make matters worse, we know that we have missed a lot of opportunities or overlooked many options because we, knowingly or unknowingly, tend to be fixated on immediate interests, preconceived plans, and well-trodden paths. This quest to be at peace with the complicated world is the main theme in the Book of Changes (Changes 易經, or I Ching). In this essay, I will present a reading of the “Xici” 繋辭 (Attached Statements), a part of the Ten Wings of the Book of Changes. In this reading, I will explain how the philosophy of divination of the Book of Changes can help us overcome our fear of uncertainty. I will argue that the “Xici” offers an understanding of human condition that includes three parts: (1) our finitude due to the limits of our cognitive abilities; (2) our reliance on an artificial system of signs to understand our surroundings and to guide our actions; and (3) our hubris to take full control of our lives, even to the point of planning every step in our daily schedule.
