the Order of Chaos

Everything surrounding us is prone to fall into equilibrium. Your cup of coffee becomes of room temperature eventually, the wind makes atmospheric pressure equal in remote areas, compressed spring opens up on release –all these processes suggest the existence of some equilibrium forces driving them. They are sort of the excess potentials which can give you the energy to use. Good news is we are successfully exploiting those forces in our daily life. The best example would be a gas one uses driving his/her car. It is full of excess potential being released upon combustion in your car’s engine.Not to say about the food we eat every single day to support our energy costs. The point is any energy excess can/should be spent for something. Some people call this the equilibrium law. Given that one can consider the world as a place full of so called pendulums which vibrate, die out and interact. Every one next to another is accepting the energy from its neighbor and passes that through the chain. Once born any given disturbance is being transferred and causing the excess potential which is in turn can be released in completely another direction. Simply put our life is like permanent energy exchange. What is far more interesting is that the equilibrium can be perturbed not only by real actions but thoughts. This occurs when someone attaches to much importance to anything whatever it would be. Just imagine how different would it feel standing on the ground or balancing on the edge of a skyscraper. In the latter case you are much more concerned about the situation and your equilibrium is shifted. Thus the excess forces would be trying to amortize that energy surplus and either put you down or force you to step back. There is only you who can choose the direction so it comes to your self-control. Once your peace of mind is disturbed you become a source of energy for someone else because your equilibrium is unbalanced. Your gas starts to burn out. Here are some triggers one can use to bowl you down: sense of guilt, discontent, idealization, blame, overestimation, arrogance, perfection, money, hatred, greed and you name it. If you look at this list more carefully you could see that all that things listed are about the importance being attached to whatever it might be. Say you hate someone. It simply means you consider him or her important for you in one way or another. The arrogance is about self-importance, the overestimation is when the estimation is for some reason very important for you. So as you can see we are always facing some kind of excesses in our life and spend our energy to overcome the obstacles but we used to fail in that. Rather we should learn to recognize the equilibrium shifts in our minds and reduce the importance. How can it be done? I am using a simple approach of considering myself as an observer rather than a participant of my own life. It is kind of a game when you rent yourself to the world and watch a movie. Thus you totally reduce any importance to encounter. Do not worry but act since the importance potentials are being dissipated through the action.
