Entropy. It’s one of those words that you learn in junior high science and then don’t really care about after the test is over, right? The dictionary says entropy is “inevitable and steady deterioration of a system or society.”
Lately I feel like the stuff of my life is steadily deteriorating. There’s not enough time and energy to go around, not to mention there’s stuff that I just don’t want to do. Today, for example, I should be doing some housework–I don’t want to do housework on my Saturday. Is there something wrong with that attitude? Maybe. Probably. That doesn’t change much though.
I don’t even know why I feel this way. Work is slow, so that’s not stressing me out. It just seems like I have these strong feelings of apathy. I want things to get done, I guess I just don’t want to be the one that has to do them. The thing I really want to know is why we as humans let this kind of thing happen? It’s obviously cyclical, but why can’t we just keep a steady balance going?
