Entropy in creation

While it is nice to know that there are a few people who want good things for the planet and every living being on it, logically speculating, I think it is a lost cause to start with. I don't say this taking a snap shot in time, but its just an observation I make of things that have been, are and tending to be.

It is my opinion that everything is in a high state of entropy in absolute terms and in a transitionary state of entropy relative to the begining of creation, if there ever was one! Without venturing into the philosophical side of things, from what scientists have explained about the beginings of the planet, things began with a/the 'big bang'. If that is taken, just for arguments sake, as the begining of beginings, then it is easy to notice that, that mass disintegrated as a natural consequence of being in a very high state of entropy. Those splinters are what we know as the planets and pieces of the solar system (and even that of other galaxies). These pieces are still with a tremendous amounts of energy and hence in a high state of entropy although relative lower. Extrapolating that argument to things we see on the planet, anthing put together is susceptible to destruction and very easily at that. For example a glass cup, disintegrates quite easily. Anything 'man made' has a high amount of energy relative to the parts that made it up. 'God made'(or for the non-believer/agnostic, 'X' made) is not too different either. It's common knowledge that everyone dies! :) So I am not talking about life and death but just the natural direction of the living being. A living being's most fundamental want is to be free. Over the years there have been a lot of attempts to rob people of their freedom and the only fall out of it has been a violent push back to freedom (including India, inspite of Gandhi). Just as this is natural, a majority of people allow their minds to succumb to greed! Put freedom and greed together and that is a destructive combination. While there are people who grow wise and look away from their greedy ways, most people on the planet let their greed get the better of their wisdom. In such a situation, the very few who try to preserve the planet and hope to have good things for everyone, I think, are already starting from the losers end. If that does not happen and we dont self destruct ourselves and the planet that way, it is only a matter of time before the planet runs into another rock and get destroyed.

One way or the other, everything, as I see it, is heading towards freedom from a very high state of energy. Any sort of preservation is at best retarding the natural progression towards destruction. But, on the other hand, it creates jobs for a few and keeps the economy going while that waits to be destroyed as well!! :)

So I's say, stop worrying, don't get worked up about someone going crazy! Her/his kind is bound to win purely because of the higher numbers of that kind! It may be 'bad' to the sane mind but sanity is a high state of entropy in itself! That said, people who maintain their sanity I believe have a higher chance of leading a peaceful life. But that is not assured since probability suggests that there has to be more of the other kind in the neighbourhood! I am all for peace and here is my bit from the losers end...if you are reading this and feel passionate about something/anything, just know that you are the idiot that is destroying the planet! :) Take it easy!
