Entropy

We are born - we develop – we fall apart. Pretty efficient isn’t it? We grow to be useful and reproductive in our prime and then slowly break down. We all have an expiration date somewhere...in our eyes, voice, skin. Character. There is something out there that holds us together...keeps the energy form dispersing too quickly. Conservation? Reuse? Moderation...balance? I am getting tired of trying to achieve balance...it seems to be the only thing my mind and body want to do.

“All things in moderation...including moderation itself” ?

But why? For good measure...or because we need it. To serve our impulses or for the good of life? The good of life...? Doesn’t that lie in serving our individual interests?

Questions.

Entropy is to be expected. But how to we live with it? Embrace our decline? Or fight it? What for?

A quote comes to mind in the midst of all these questions...
”He who despairs over an event is a coward, but he who holds hope for the human condition is a fool.”

And another...

“You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life”

Both written by Albert Camus.

So what do we do?

All is well?

What do you think?

Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better. The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
Ecclesiastes 7:3-4
