Entropy Changes Everything

Entropy is an inevitable, unstable force which creates balance and stability. This is not a paradox. I have a lot more to say regarding this concept but am leaving it as a teaser of sorts. It does lead into this specific point I am making. I am making this point for specific reasons.

As we progress through life, we change to adapt to the entropy of our environment as our environment is constantly changing due to entropy. The perception of who we are inevitably changes if we are engaging with life in any kind of meaningful way. If we are intelligent, the perception of the story of our life inevitably changes due to an intake of new information.

We can view something we did ten years ago as intelligent one day but dumb the next. With new information or a reflection on information we have, we may change this view again. This is okay and logical. The perception of our life story is inevitably inconsistent. To force it into consistency would mean inevitable constant lying to ourselves and would eventually throw our lives into disarray due to attempts to maintain the lies we are telling ourselves. To force our life story into consistency would inevitably create an arrogance to new information and create a dogmatic closed mind.

I believe attempts of forcing our life story into consistency will inevitably make us lose sight of who we are, due to entropy changing everything.

A Philosophy of Relativity

I live by a personal philosophy of relativity. What is the best way to handle something at one point in time may not be the best way to handle it at a different time. Entropy changes everything and while a dogmatic lifestyle can create comfort for some, it does not for me. I like entropy. I like doing things differently, as often as possible. I will do something different, just for the sake of curiosity and doing it differently. Whether it is the best, most ideal, way of doing things is irrelevant to me. I am a highly curious being and I explore my curiosity tenaciously.
