In any natural process, entropy, or disorder, in a system gradually increases over time. We can observe this in our bodies, which, as they age, begin to break down and become prone to various diseases and disorders. Thankfully, our bodies constantly counteract entropy through processes that repair, regenerate, and maintain homeostasis.
This pushback against disorder allows many of us to enjoy long, healthy lives before entropy runs its full course. Entropy doesn’t just affect our human health—it’s evident everywhere. As institutions age and grow larger, they begin to decay.
In daily life, our homes get messy, and without time to reflect, our thoughts become jumbled and confused. Most of us are happier and more at ease in an ordered environment. Entropy is not our natural state.
Various teachings, such as Christianity, center on the hope that the world will one day be restored to order and all entropy will be halted. 1. Challenge Yourself Physically 2.
