is harmony truly overrated?

harmony: the quest for companionship? do you agree with that sort of definition? of course, there are many different meanings to the word, but isn’t harmony fundamentally about companionship?

if two tones are in perfect harmony, they do have a beautifully matching relationship between them

if two colours are in harmony, they are soothing to the eyes and won’t be a cause for an eyesore

if two flavours are in harmony, they make for a great taste

if two textures are in harmony, they make for a great piece of fabric

if two people are in harmony, they make for a great companionship

but what worth is the world if all that we look for is the equilibrium point of harmony?

i sometimes find myself subconsciously veering from the well earned harmonious state by doing something irrational and sometimes immoral, but there are no regrets whatsoever in those ventures. do you ever find yourself doing things like that?

maybe this is the second law of thermodynamics proven. haha that everything tends to a greater state of chaos.

“The second law of thermodynamics is an expression of the universal law of increasing entropy, stating that the entropy of an isolated system which is not in equilibrium will tend to increase over time, approaching a maximum value at equilibrium.

The second law traces its origin to French physicist Sadi Carnot’s 1824 paper Reflections on the Motive Power of Fire, which presented the view that motive power (work) is due to the fall of caloric (heat) from a hot to cold body (working substance). In simple terms, the second law is an expression of the fact that over time, differences in temperature, pressure, and density tend to even out in a physical system that is isolated from the outside world. Entropy is a measure of how far along this evening-out process has progressed.

There are many versions of the second law, but they all have the same effect, which is to explain the phenomenon of irreversibility in nature. “

life is about experiences i guess… though there are those that argue that life is about achievement, happiness, enjoyment……

but maybe we would like to experience all, and thats why harmony alone does not satisfy my immense greed for experience

it is some sort of a satisficing of life!

you see i’m becoming quite senseless even to myself already.

maybe its time to sleep clarence =]
