Order within disorder

If you are half as smart as I, then you probably would have made a few of your own observations about life. Let me try and override some of your morbidly lame and highly inaccurate ideas with my incisive and refreshing ones. Thinking about life in general, is a favorite pastime of mine.Thinking about its specificity is what follows. As human beings, most of us are distrubed by change and randomness.Intelligence levels manifest in resolving this apparent chaos into patterns. Many times, after making a blunder, you swear "Not again!". That is pattern recognition, in its crudest form. As a conscious being, we always try to classify things into some pattern or not. Incapability of doing so leaves you a confused mass. You will never learn from your mistakes. Stuck in an endless loop of follies, you probably would'nt even realise what the hell is going on. Now, last summer i took a course in summer in Bio.And, we all know where it all lead. This time, i have'nt taken a single course( in 2005).Life is peaceful. Eerily peaceful. Trying to classify everything is a folly too. There should be a class which you should be unclassified. Things which can lead to improvisation. Without occasional oxygen of new mistakes, you will be stuck in a state which can only be best described as bordering perpetual boredom.

Astrology, i think, has it roots in such tendencies to classification. People obsessed with classifying things started looking for reasons to attribute to disturbances in life. They were a bunch of people who came up with the most lame excuses, ever. Like, "Hey. Why did you turn up late for the meeting". They would say,"Oh, jupiter and saturn were in the wrong places and so we thought we should skip the meeting". When in reality, there were probably watching some dance program or better things in life than attending some vague meetings.Soon, this become a trend and people attributed things to poor planets. Some good, Most bad.
