Theory of experience and randomness.

Okay so here is the thing, I have always been fascinated by entropy. It is one of the most fundamental properties of this universe, and it always increases. The best thing about it is the fact that it is quite simple to understand, at least the part I understand is simple. Entropy is synonymous to randomness, so we can safely assume that the randomness in this world always increases. So what is randomness after all? Randomness is every new information introduced to this universe, every new thought that enters into your mind and every new action someone takes. When you are in love, your brain gets so random you start getting totally illogical ideas. Ideas like marriage, babies, more babies. In a way, more the babies- more is the crap, and more is the randomness. So what does randomness have to do with our lives? It would suffice to say that as we progress in time- whatever we may be after ten years, one thing is for sure- we would have GAINED experience. So the only thing we know which definitely increases with time (except age and time interval between two consecutive sexual intercourses) is our experience. Experience is like the mental counterpart of the physical entropy. Then what does all of this lead us to? Could we possibly apply all the physical laws of entropy to experience? At least in the broader sense. Maybe just maybe, the equations would lead us to something unprecedented- give it a try?

When killing yourselves doesn't help.

There has to be someone in our lives who no matter what time of the day it is, no matter what's happening around them, is always depressed. I normally try to avoid these poor souls, they should be left alone after all. What if depression suddenly becomes a fashion and every time you want to impress your girlfriend, you would have to slit your wrist or try jumping off your apartment? You know what the worst part is? In the dark, you have to go with the flow. It is light which gives you opportunities, darkness just improbabilities. When everyone around you starts to commit suicide, it is going to catch up with you. So when we say evil breeds evil, it is nature working itself towards chaos. And if you are trying to stop that from happening, you are going against nature. Entropy is the ultimate truth of this universe. No matter what, chaos will always increase. However disciplined you try to be, the inherent predictability of discipline would be your undoing. So when someone tells you there is no evil without good, they are probably trying to be sympathetic. Because it is evil which is fundamental to the fabric of reality and we just try to make it look the other way. When this world put a fear in our hearts, set us against chaos- they had already started building a foundation destined to betray.
