Life is inherently chaotic and unpredictable from "summary" of Everything Is F*cked by Mark Manson
Life is a mystery. It's an enigma wrapped in a paradox, dipped in confusion, and deep-fried in what-the-fuck. We think we have it all figured out, that we can control it, tame it, bend it to our will. But the truth is, life has a mind of its own. It's like a toddler on a sugar high, running around in circles, knocking things over, and laughing maniacally. We try to create order out of chaos, to impose our will upon the unruly beast that is life. We make plans, set goals, and create to-do lists longer than the Great Wall of China. But life just chuckles and says, "Hold my beer." It throws us curveballs when we least expect it, like a sadistic game show host delighting in our confusion and dismay. We think we can predict the future, that we can see what's coming around the bend. But life is a sneaky bastard, always ready to pull the rug out from under us and watch us flail helplessly in mid-air. It's like a cosmic game of Whac-A-Mole, with us as the hapless players desperately trying to keep up with the chaos unfolding around us. We like to think that we are the masters of our fate, the captains of our souls. But life has a wicked sense of humor, constantly reminding us that we are but mere mortals, adrift in a sea of uncertainty and unpredictability. It's like a cosmic jester, taunting us with its capriciousness and laughing at our feeble attempts to make sense of it all. So we soldier on, bravely facing each new day with a mixture of hope and trepidation. We cling to our illusions of control, our delusions of grandeur, and our steadfast belief that somehow, someway, we can make sense of this crazy, chaotic thing called life. But deep down, we know the truth: that life is a wild, untamed beast, forever dancing just out of reach, forever eluding our grasp. And maybe, just maybe, that's the way it's supposed to be.
