Update!!!!
Chaos
Chaos is defined as a great disorder or confusion in the dictionary, and maybe the world would benefit from a little bit of it now an again. After all, didn’t everything start off on earth in a chaotic manner? Atoms flying around and colliding formed new elements that never before existed billions of years ago. Through chaos new things have been achieved in the past, and it would also be probable for the future. In the world as it is, full of order and rules, the control of the planets majority of wealth is in the hands of a small percentage of greedy, power hungry old men. If chaos, or in another word, anarchy, was more prevalent now then nobody would be oppressed by the governments and dictators who now rule with iron fists. America is barely the land of the free anymore, with secret arrests of “suspected terrorists” who have no shred of evidence to say they did anything wrong. Computer monitored surveillance means that if you accidentally log onto the wrong web site, the FBI could bust down your door and drag you away. We all know that only happens in movies, but it does happen in the world as well.
Our society as it is now is the total opposite of chaos, as our government and law enforcement agencies strictly control the order of our lives in ways we can’t even see. Chaos would mean that everyone decides their own actions and don’t have to answer to any higher power other than themselves. In our consumer based society we have grown fat and lazy, feeling safe from danger in our cozy little ecosystem of fast food joints and mass media to tell us what to do and how to think. Chaos would shake things up, possibly for the better, and also possibly for the worse. Either way, it would change the very foundation of the way everything is.
Imagine a future where you could sit atop the hulking remains of a burned out skyscraper in New York City, tracking bison that roam freely through the streets, as you wear homemade leather clothing that will last the rest of your life. Anything is possible when there are no rules, and that is the very nature of chaos. Free thinkers unafraid of the ridicule of Corporate America would be able to express themselves without fear, and could grow fields of marijuana in their backyards if they so desired. Obviously, the chaos would not last forever, as some narrow-minded people would demand law enforcement to do the job they are to weak to do, which is protect themselves. Eventually, order would once again rise up on the wings of a dove, as all cycles must come to a halt at some point.
Chaos is how the universe began. It was present in an explosion that ripped apart the very fabric of time and space and started life, as we know it. Billions of years later we came along and tried to put order into our lives. What has it accomplished besides technology that destroys our planets once pure and untarnished skies, and governments who needlessly declare war on each other? The rulers all want the same thing, power, and they won’t stop, even when they have all the power they could ever need. Everyone dies eventually and there is a saying, “You can’t take it with you.” Everyone should have the same chance to be the master of his or her own destiny without fear from a world based on order that shuns freethinking individuals as pariahs. I would bet money that if someone ever came up with an invention that let cars run on water instead of gasoline, someone from the oil industry would have them assassinated before we could even learn of this new miracle, just so they could continue to dominate the marketplace. Chaos would do some good in our lives, as it is a far step away from the order that ruins us as individuals.
We are only here on this world for a short time, so we ought to have fun while we can, without anyone to tell us what is right or wrong. I think most people would turn out alright, and if its true that your environment shapes you as a person, then why is it that there are so many murderers and rapists in the world right now? Obviously something is going wrong out there, and maybe a little chaos is the solution. In the world I envision, there would be no greedy old white men who control vast stores of wealth and sit in the comfort of their mansions, gloating over their enterprises that were built on deceit. Oh, what a future that could be…
Chaos is not as harsh as an insane bedlam of destruction as you might think it to mean, although it does mean confusion and a disorder that do not seem to be “good” words for a society to be based on. I only mean that it would change the world, but not permanently, because order always springs up from anarchy eventually.
