Balance and Chaos

To think of it,

We all are nothing,

But expressions of organised chaos.

The big bang, the nebulae, the stars, their planets, and then the one that could sustain life,

All of it has been nothing but randomly fired particles just falling into place only to become a part of something greater than themselves,

A part of a system, atleast that's how we humans define it.

We've done the same for our societies too,

7 billion individuals, 7 billion unique lives, unique minds, and unique stories, all tied to a single strand called society.

Things just happen, but we couldn't deal with the infinite uncertainties, so we created the concept of balance, just to make sense of it all, just to know what "normal" is, if anything at all.

This attempt to label anything and everything just to have a bleak sense of certainty, just to feel secure, just to have some meaning to this never-ending randomness, was our attempt to organise chaos.

The concept of Balance , if anything at all, is a survival tactic, and a coping mechanism, a method to deal with our insignificance,

But we tend to forget, we ourselves have been an outcome of this very randomness.

We ourselves, are the children of chaos, organised chaos.

Embrace it, don't just survive, live.
