# Chaos and Order

As human beings, we often act in contradictory ways.

**On the one hand, we all chase consistency and sameness.**

The feeling of knowing what’s next feels safe, predictable.

**On the other hand, we chase uncertainty, new, unknown.**

It’s also the only way progress can be made, individually and as a collective.

Consistency is order.

Change is chaos.

But evolution has taught us.

**Change is the only constant.**
