How do you deliberately create chaos in your soul!! Is it simply by ignoring the voice of reason? bending, or even breaking the rules every now and then? Does a chaotic mind mean a chaotic soul? Is the structured mind so unhappy??

I like your space Iman, and your choice of poetry, I’m glad to have come here :)

beautiful, ArabianMonkey:)

I’m reminded by some of what Covey says… it’s true - most creative endeavors are relatively unpredictable… hit or miss, trial and error … but people’s need for structure, certainty and predictability is very high - that’s why you have a type of people who don’t like to get out of their comfort zone and explore and so they never move up… and unless people are able to conquer their fear and they’re able to have a high tolerance for ambiguity, they’ll always remain stagnant…

When we were kids, we explored because we could.
We played hard to achieve something, and we played clever to win.
We changed the play when it got predictable.
And we broke the rules because we just weren’t sure.
We created chaos because we were exploring.
And we made a mess to get attention.

In today’s time stealing world, we just don’t seem to let space in.
And on a planet obsessed with rules, we’ve forgotten how to think.
And in times driven by formulae, we’ve neglected to remind ourselves that humanity by nature copes with disorder.
Fear is what holds us back.
