I swim in a large pool, that in the afternoons sometimes has kids in it that might add some less than desirable ingredients to the water.
Some friends have told me that they don’t use the pool for that reason. When I said even the ocean has fish pooping in it, their response was that they don’t swim there either.
Upon consideration, it occurs to me that this view might lack the idea that things don’t always just get worse, they can also get better.
I usually swim in the morning, when the pool’s filters and chlorination have had all night to clean and give the pool a fresh start.
Even more since covid, I usually shop in the mornings, when the air I breathe in the stores doesn’t have all of the days’ build up of lots of other people’s breath and perhaps germs, when the air circulation filters, and the clumping of dust and other particles has cleared the air for a fresh start to begin a new day.
Similarly, if we let them, our bodies have the ability to heal themselves and add to our health and longevity, if we let them.
Entropy or Evolution
Some of us follow the tenets of entropy, and take the material view that things run down, decay, and fall apart like an old car.
This might be an unnecessary and perhaps fear engendering outlook. There might be a more positive option available.
When we allow for the concepts of evolution, growth, and healing, that we see in many instances in the world around us, we may create a far more positive outlook.
Opportunities for actions arise by which life may extend itself and flourish, just as the plants grow back every spring.
The choice is there, but only for those who accept this possibility and maybe make it their own, through their actions and thoughts.
As in many endeavors, what we practice and attend to, even in small things, gains strength by our efforts.
This works of course, because, nothing is wasted.
This should be self evident from a study of our physical world. It’s simply called the law of conservation of matter and energy, or Einstein’s E=MC squared.
Perhaps these musings might show us a way out of some very challenging issues presented to us by today’s worldview.
I offer them to give us hope for a better tomorrow.
Very Best Wishes Always,
Daniel
