Dragota – Beauty in Flaws

Now, you see, order and randomness constitute, in other words, the warp and the woof. Where everything is, in order, everything’s under control; in randomness, it’s all over, it’s a mess. But we wouldn’t know what order was unless we had messes. It’s the contrast of order and messes that order itself depends upon. And so in exactly the same way, it is the contrast of on and off, there and not there—in other words, life and death, being and non-being, that constitutes existence. Only, we pretend that the random side of things, the disorderly side of things, could possibly win in the game of competition, or, I would rather call it collaboration—between the two. When you lose sight of the fact that the order-principle and the random-principle go together, that’s exactly the same predicament as losing sight of the fact that all individually delineated things and beings are connected underneath.
