Is a little chaos actually good for us?
Can you live your whole life measuring things with a pencil and a ruler?
But a life like that will be so stiff.
By the way, using a pen and a ruler is a common expression is Arabic, or you can say in Egypt. If you say someone lives by a pencil and a ruler, you mean they measure everything in life.
Actually… it can be a compliment.
But it can also be a defect.
The extreme opposite of this condition is chaos.
And if someone is known as chaotic, this means their life goes upside down, aimless, and messy.
There’s no way chaotic can be an advantage.
But a bit of chaos won’t hurt.
Actually, it can make some change, bring a laughter, or earn you some skills.
And what better example is there than baking?
My daughter insists on following the recipe from A to Z, including the exact measurements and using the scale which I bought mainly for decoration.
Yet the kitchen under her supervision looks like bedlam.
I usually, perhaps out of experience, take the shortcut.
No measurements, no scale, and always sticky hands.
Still, the kitchen under my supervision looks no better.
In both cases, we enjoy the chaos in the chaotic kitchen, even though we chaotically complain about the mess.
But without this chaos, we would be sacrificing baking for the sake of glassy, glossy Kitchen.
With a bit of chaos thoughts,
Nahla
