It really is an interesting thing to think about. The thought, basically, that no matter what you do the time you waste getting things done is really just that… waste. You’re going to have to do it again. Like an endless, vicious cycle even. I noticed at old work place that there is one department that seemed victim to this, the misses department. It seems like no matter how it got clean, it somehow ended up exactly where it started as a huge disastrous mess! Really, all of the retail world is the same, no matter the department. It is a relentless cleaning up, putting back, and cleaning up the same thing you just put back.
Never clear, never completely put up or folded, always in some disarray. How does that happen? Why is it that there are some things in life that are an never ending battle? That there is nothing you can really do to stop it. Is irreversibility is the price for complexity? The more systems and details there are, the harder it is to keep up with it, enter entropy.
The creation of life seems an exception to entropy. But in reality, even life itself is eventual entropy. As soon as you’re born you start dying. Like a car wreck in slow motion, you see it coming. BOOM! It has happened, and here you are.
How can you stop it? Can you stop it? Maybe life is more of an ongoing entropy in which the chaos that it is eventually ended with death. An ongoing series of complexities, situations, and even greatness but it leads to the same end no matter what. So in that sense, it’s just something to get used to, a part of life.
