Cataclysm

The mechanics of change are biologically frustrating. Entropy and Negentropy are both easy to fall into because a balance between the two is the hardest thing to get used to. I logically like the idea of disruptive change. It flows in so many ways and makes many things in life better in the long run. The only thing that irks me is that the agent of change has to be external.

Something has to crash the party.

It's biologically logical that this would be true as we have a word specifically set for this phenomenon: catalyst. I hate catalysts, because they always change things beyond repair. Whether its an atomic reaction brought about by a catalyst, a revolution overthrowing a government sparked by a catalyst, a human life changed by a catalyst, or a business going bankrupt and giving rise to another sparked by a catalyst, there is no room for moderate change. There is no way of internally modifying behavior without an external catalyst. Biologically imperative and logically frustrating.

Here I am, just waiting for the next cataclysm.
