PROBLEM

How do we live in a world in which order is an illusion vital for the conduct of a social system? The evidence that Chaos is the true state of the world is so vast as to be undeniable. How to live with Chaos is an interesting and amusing study. We do it all the time but cling to Illusion as much more comfortable. With enough honesty we may be just as comfortable with Chaos. We must find the laws that govern it and be comfortable again.

ANSWER

Hope is the belief in something. Chaos is the end of hope. To believe in nothing is the end of hope. Hope characterizes the essential nature of man and is crucial to his survival.

How could Man hunt for food without the confidence that his arrow would find its mark?His own experience and the experiences of all his ancestors gave him the fundamental belief that he understood the way the world works. And that there was a reason for everything even if it was beyond his immediate understanding.

This illusion which sustains him is far better than Chaos
