Chaos

Is a little chaos actually good for us? – A rather vague question from the daily prompt.

When I first read the question, my initial answer was yes. If life is predictable, then it can get a little boring. But I do like order and structure in my life. At the same time, I loved to shake things up occasionally both in my professional and personal life.

If you look at the definition of chaos it says – complete disorder and confusion.

When I think about a visual of chaos, I see a huge crowd of people and a loud bang happens sounding like a gunshot and chaos ensues. People running in all directions because nobody knows if it was a shot or where it came from so it’s just pure panic.

Now when I think of a little chaos I think of someone proposing a new process that changes the entire production process that when implemented blows up. But in that chaos new lessons are learned and sometimes that chaos brings progress and new and better ways of doing things.

The danger with a little chaos is that it can get out of hand quickly. Take for example the coming election. The little chaos that comes with people arguing different points and solutions. But if people feel that elections are stolen, then that is a whole new game.

I’m suspecting this is going to be a trigger point for this country. I like listening to smart people. And when a smart person was asked the following, I agree with his response.

“Do you agree that we are covering in real-time an assault on our elections, the upcoming ones?”

“I’m very concerned of what’s going to happen in the next election, absolutely,”
