Serious to be Unserious

I believe the quote “life is what you make of it” is the cause of our need to find structure. The ideas of disorganization, randomness, and chance are intimidating. They scare us, every one of us, with no true exception. We combat these fearful ideas by creating ideas of our own; ideas less threatening; ideas of assembly, of balance, and most importantly – predictability. We try and make our lives what we want them to be. To say this is a bad thing would be to go against human nature, but to say we should trust that our lives would go according to plan is ludicrous. What we should be telling ourselves is to never take life to seriously, because no one gets out alive anyway.
