"Life Is An Entropy"

The word “entropy” id being used outrageously nowadays.
You usually hear this from physicists,
engineers and made use of in engineering subjects.
But lately, you learned that even sociologists used this word.
Therefore, go ahead and be a part of those who abuse this term.
Entropy – synonymus to disorder, chaos,
disturbance, noise, random, mixture, and heat.
From the Greek word entrope, which means change.
In thermodynamics, it quantifies the disorderliness of the system.
According to the 2nd law, the entropy of
an isolated system never decreases over time.
This means that, the longer the time, the more chaotic the system is.
Is it not life is an entropy?
Chaotic. Complicated. Interweaved.
Packed with changes.
Some people, while yearning
for a simple and peaceful life,
do not run off by problems,
while others, want to stay
in their life’s entropy.
Life is more challenging
when it is disordered.
People love to struggle
all the more when
they are pushed to the limits.
Maybe, these types of people
are masochistic. They enjoy life’s crisis.
They are in pain,
yet they can afford
to smile and laugh
at their situation.
How will you understand life
then when it agrees with
the 2nd law of thermodynamics
in which life ends with
degradation, annihilation,
decomposition, separation, and death?
A living proof that life is
an enigmatic oxymoron;
that nature favors a disordered state;
that Darwin’s theory of evolution
is impossible because
entropy needs to be decreased
to achieve the simplicity of life.
Evolution is to simplicity
as entropy is to complexity.
A novel can have a prologue,
an epilogue, a prequel, a sequel,
can pack with episodes,
or can be made into a book series.
But this has to be given
a splendid ending by the author.
At the end, the good defeated the evil,
two people separated by time
found each others arms once again
and ends up being together,
the protagonist endured, while the villain died,
and just like a fairy tale,
everybody lives happily ever after.
Readers despised a hanging up finale.
A tragic conclusion is disheartening.
But in reality, each life’s story
is not as always as a happy ending.
Whatever happens, there has to have
a period at the end of a life’s story.
A part of one’s life ends with a decision;
a choice of what is right, and not what is easy.
The cliché, change is the only
permanent thing in this world,
is also according to the 2nd law of thermodynamics.
It says, energy is transformed from one form to another.
The transformation is from higher to lower level.
That is the reason why, when a hot water
is filled with ice, water does not turn into ice,
but instead ice turned into water.
Same thing with life. You maybe rich today,
tomorrow you will live with poverty.
You are happy today, expect that you will cry later.
That is why you must make the most out of your life.
Enjoy each moment as if it were your last.
Because you never know until
when the happiness that you feel at the moment lasts.
Because you believe in entropy, you knew
that happiness goes to loneliness;
that everything is just temporary.
The ice-hot water system will come to a point
of achieving its equilibrium, wherein
the temperature remains constant.
Life’s events consist of a symmetrical pattern.
Therefore, loneliness is in symmetry with happiness.
This balances the system of life.
Just like the ice-hot water system, there is a gradual change.
You need to adjust and to cope up, because eventually,
you will reach the state of equilibrium in which
you will never feel the pain, sadness, and turmoil.
Even Barbra Streisand’s question,
"Some good things never last. Why can’t they last?”
can be solved by the 2nd law of thermodynamics.
They can’t last because of entropy.
She watched love get closer, then it fade away.
“What good is holding on when all
you can think about is letting go.”
When energy is transformed,
hot water rejected energy
while ice accepted the same
amount of energy in a heat form.
Same goes with Barbra’s song.
In order to achieve equilibrium,
rejection and acceptance are needed.
One has to let go and accept the other.
He said, life is simple. Human just complicates it.
You disagreed. It is the reversed, instead.
Life is really complicated.
Human has just the choice
whether to simplify it or not.
A jar with coins, which appears to be heads,
is in an ordered state. When you agitate the jar,
chances are, some of the coins will turn out to be tails.
There are two choices: heads or tails.
The more you shake the jar,
the greater chance tails will come out.
It all boils down to choice.
Choice is the reason why life is an entropy.
Choice makes life in a disordered state.
Paradoxically, why can’t we have a choice
without having to choose instead?
Let life accept everything whatever comes out,
that’s already it, be it hurtful or not,
happy or sad, good or bad.
You just have to accept it as it is
because you do not have a choice.
Why can’t it be like that?
The jar with coins has to be applied
with “external work” so that tails may come out.
To make a choice is to do an “external work.”
One needs to make an effort.
Choice spices up our lives.
It tries our free will if we will be using it to good or to bad,
difficult or easy, compromising or sacrificial,
and the choice between what is right and easy.
In your case, your life is still an entropy.
But you know that eventually,
you will reach the state of equilibrium,
wherein you will never be disordered anymore.
