What is chaos? Part II

It is not surprising we aim to excite chaos in the world around us. In most cases we find chaos to be very attractive. If you had to pick a favorite from 10 bouquets of flowers and 9 of them were just red roses but the 10th has less red roses, a fern and some babies breath,,, which would you choose? Chaos has been added to one of the bouquets and you like it more. Someone with a chaotic personality may be viewed as more interesting than a more normal person. However, a chaotic personality might be the person at the party you want to avoid. The truth is that chaos is both good and bad, it's what we love and what we hate. If we didn't have chaos everything would just be normal and sterile, who wants that? Chaos is what makes life worth living, we just need to make sure we don't let it get out of control. And let's try and cool it on how we order the Earth, it does fine on its own. In conclusion, chaos and order are relative and subjective, their relationship could be viewed as just another Yin and Yang.

What is chaos? Part I

People write books on chaos, it has a theory associated with it, I've looked into it, and it's really a lot to handle. Let's try and break it down as simple as possible.
What is the opposite of chaos? Perhaps order. And what is another opposite of order? Disorder. Then we can say chaos is disorder. Let's further examine what disorder is with an example of a house that is in perfect order. All its utilities work great, the paint is fresh and the yard was just landscaped. Then imagine that the house was left as is, the owners didn't touch it, inside or out and other people were not allowed to trespass for 30 years. When the owners returned to the house, they first found that the yard was completely overgrown and out of control. The beautiful paint was now chipped and pealing from the weather, and inside was a mess of dust, cobwebs and other remains of small animals that once found shelter there. The owners would quickly say that their home was in disorder (or chaos). This is true, disorder has taken place,,, but what does this say about human order? We build a perfect house on a plot of Earth's land, we let it naturally deteriorate and the home has changed into something resembling the original plot of Earth's land,,, and we call it disorder. Where in actuality humans have disordered (or changed the order of) the Earth. So what is Chaos and what is Order? From one perspective humans increase order, from another they excite chaos. If chaos is disorder then maybe disorder isn't really the opposite of order but just a change in order. This means disorder isn't very different from order at all,,, and maybe order isn't as different as chaos as we think.
