We are always living with order and chaos
We are always living with order and chaos. It is easy to move from order to chaos, but it is not easy to move from chaos to order. For example, if you're driving a car at a high speed and you have a flat tire, you have entered a world of chaos where you must take control of the vehicle. Or, if you are exercising and all of a sudden feel chest pain, you have gone from a world of order to a world of chaos. Even the brain has divisions between order and regularity versus chaos and novelty.
— from Takeoff Into Chaos
In the book
Order is when things go smoothly and as expected; chaos is when they do not. We are always living somewhere between the two, and the hard truth is that it is terribly easy to slide from order into chaos and very hard to climb back the other way — like a car at full speed when a tire suddenly blows. But chaos is not your enemy. — Takeoff Into Chaos
