Chaos is necessary, and chaos is good. Whenever a system has reached a static point of equilibrium and has no more room to grow and evolve, it is fertile ground for chaos to take over. In a chaotic environment, ideas flourish, limitations and boundaries dissolve, risks are taken, opportunities arise, and many attempts lead to failure.

But it is out of the same trials that eventually one or more attempts evolve as the most likely to succeed and flourish. And then the other elements within that still-chaotic system spontaneously decide in favour of some of the alternatives that are most likely to succeed and, through a mechanism of self-determination, organize themselves in line with their chosen paths of evolution. This is the mechanism of self-organization. It is evolution through the exercise of freedom of choice.

The Middle East problems have been going on all my life, with no solution in sight. Perhaps some chaos is in order.

Excuse me for lacking the patience to wait another thousand years for resolution.
