In my beliefs of science, everything consists of the elements "Order" and "Chaos", and a balance of these elements. One element cannot exist without the other. Without both elements, nothing would exist. "Chaos lights the flame, but Order allows it to burn." I will say this quote a lot because it is very much true. Take a fire place for instance, fire is very much an element of chaos. Chaos will spark the flame, and allow it to be. Order, on the other hand, allows that flame to continue burning. Without Order, the properties would be imbalanced and the flame would not be able to burn. Thus proving there is no stand alone of Chaos or Order. Chaos which brings winter, must also contain order. However, spring comes with Order, and brings back life, but here too is a little bit of Chaos. Even if it's the smallest amount, both exist. When combined, it is balanced. Thus, a balanced cycle.
This same balance of Order and Chaos are also part of everything else, like us humans and even every day life. Say you throw a bowling ball at some pins. The Chaos of the ball hitting the pins causes them to scatter, but the Order of the throw causes them to scatter in a certain way. It's not always easy to see both of the elements because there might be greater abundance of one over the other. For example, neatly stacked magazines, very ordered, very clean. "Where is the Chaos in something like this?" you might ask. Well, there are different ways to look at it. One, the work may have been chaotic to get these magazines in this order in the first place. Two, the magazines may be ordered, but what about a larger picture. The desk they are on top of is not ordered and cleaned. As an entirety it consists of both Order and Chaos. Three, if you wish to look at the magazines as strictly it's own, and not anything else, you look deeper. Let's say they are neatly stacked, clean, alphabetized, categorized, or anything else imaginable. This stack still has Chaos, not all the magazines have the...
