Was that a Question? Begin your entry with a question. Perhaps it's one you know the answer to, and we too will know by the end of our reading. Perhaps it's something you barely fathom an answer for, and will ponder via the pen. You can write anything you want, so long as it begins with a question. Fiction of non-fiction, poetry or Prose.

CHAOS VS. ORDER

Is order an illlusion? Is chaos brought on by the instigation of order? Is chaos a presence that never ceases to exist? A lot of questions. Not enough answers. Maybe speculation but not answers. Chaos in my opinion is always present. It is everywhere. I haven't met a person who has no evil and only virtue. I have not seen a government or person in power without any signs of anarchy and disasterous judgement.

Order does not start chaos and it does not create it because of forceful intentions. Chaos has never left our presence because we humans are not void of chaos ourselves. It is always in the background. Order being an illusion only brings the underlying chaos to light. There has not been a hero who never struggles with his inner demons who created the chaos we do not see. They hide it. Each hero has made a mistake because of lack of judgement, hatred, anger, fear and sorrow. The chaos inside our heads and hearts is what we are made of. It controls us. Not us it. It makes our decisions.

There will never be order. That is a dream far from our reach. Our countries try to hide theirs with the false image of order because they know they can not achieve it. We destroy and destroy not only the environement but ourselves. Our species. We try to rid ourselves of the perpetuit chaos but we cannot. Without chaos we would not survive. Chaos gives us purpose, it gives us something to fight for. We know we would never live in order but we still fight and that to me is beautiful.

Chaos is a part of us and some of us gets lost in it and some use it to create a purpose. They use it to their advantage.

Humans are simple creatures at first glance. Basic. We all fight for something and we all either want to live or die for something. We are selfish and we are blind. We are insane and we are leading ourselves to our own demise. We self destruct. All of this is the summary of what a human is and what a human does but my teacher always said that a summary does not always tell us all we need to know. We are beautiful in our fall. We are gracious in our acceptance that our species is centered around the presence of chaos. We are brave in our fight for hope and order. So in the end chaos never really controlled all of us after all...
