Chaos And order

Chaos and order are not what people usualy think of them as. In typical terms Chaos tends to have a negative connotation, Its usualy tied in with the meaning of evil. Order on the other hand is typicaly thought of as meaning along the lines of good. These meanings are not true however.

If anything the connotations should be reversed. Order is the restricting absolute rule that takes away freedom and forces all to be the same and perfect. It takes away individuality and free thought. Takes away creativity. It is absoluteness.

While chaos, the thing which we typically see with a negative meaning. Is randomness and complete freedom. The ability to act on a whim and never look back. To see what you want and be what you want with no rhyme or reason. Creativity flurishes in a chaotic envirnment as does innovation.

The business world often seeks to put chaotic achievements into a world of order. They want to keep absolute rule, but bare the benifits of innovation and creativity. This simply does not work. The abstract and beautiful can not come from the absolute and firm. The twisted inventions of this hybrid can only lead further into the bestranged nature that has been forced.

Its thus that I believe people should begin welcoming a bit more chaos into their lives, It coudl very well change the world.
