They stood tall. Then one grain was displaced, collided into another, and another, until one became two, two became three, three became five, five became eleven, and eleven became seven. The displacements cascaded and propagated, siring entropy and random actions. One grain’s descent led to an avalanche.
Soon, you were swept under a torrent, and order descended into chaos. The apparently innocent word became profound, its effects
magnified. There is no need to ask why — you gave, and they took.
Your silence led to them uttering another more offensive word, or the significance of the original word became amplified. Now they can shout out loud — their voices unencumbered.
Giving them space escalated their hate, and ignoring their lies led to predictable consequences.
And so you found yourself swept away by an avalanche of hate. Some say it is all give and take, but it is time for us to awaken before the nuclear bomb explodes in their heads.
Is it entropy? There is no randomness in a system predisposed to predictive behaviour — built-in bias can only result in predictive outcomes.
