Randomness

Randomness is a form of organization that we cannot understand, much less master. However, randomness is the most logical way one may expect to find … well, everything. It just makes sense that things will not be found in rows and columns unless they were heavily affected by some outside force. Randomness is peaceful. It doesn't waste energy. It adds a lot of variety, and beauty to the world. I find a lot of comfort in randomness. When I go looking for whatever I'm seeking I never know what is next, right around the corner. It could be what I want. More often it is what I need, and if I had known where to find what I wanted, I wouldn't have found what I need. The serendipity affect of research, holds that as we diligently seek the answer to one problem we won't find it until we have found the answer to one or more other problems.
If we are willing to surrender a little control, to... God, nature, randomness,-- whatever, then we will be amazed at the amount of patients with which we can face life. Personally, I seldom loose patience with randomness. I loose patience with that dude some where out there, who is responsible for those pop ups, phone calls, and junk mail. “Just mail the post paid card...” “If you weren't so stingy you would give me all your credit card numbers over the phone...” “Click here or your virus protection might get eaten by a shark...”
That reminds me. What is a virus? Does a virus have anything to do with randomness? The answer to that question, is Capital NO! Randomness and every virus out there have nothing in common – Unless randomness is the target. Of course organization also could be the target. When a virus hits it's target, you get chaos. Right here it needs to be pointed out that randomness and chaos also have no more in common than organization and chaos. Remember that “we can't understand” thing about randomness. I think that the original virus is what happened the first time someone thought he could usurp God's authority and tried to organize someone like me. It went very badly. Maybe, if enough of the right dudes would embrace randomness the word virus would disappear from the English language.
