Entropic Swimming...

Entropic Swimming - randomness: (thermodynamics) a thermodynamic quantity representing the amount of energy in a system that is no longer available for doing mechanical work; "entropy increases as matter and energy in the universe degrade to an ultimate state of inert uniformity" Inert uniformity....hmmm....sounds familiar to me. I think I have it at times swam in the Entropic stream. Sometimes its fishing, sometimes its swimming, but nonetheless entropic in effect. At this time I should unpackage what it is that I'm trying to say! I'm referring to a frame of mind espoused by everyone at one time in their life or another. It is the type of thinking that causes the actions and attitudes of people to stagnate to the point of static inert uniformity. Nothing has any value like this, it exists as raw potential and that is it. For example, if parents refuse to see the flaws in their parenting strategy, due to flaws in their reasoning or faith, the outcome will be a child that hoodwinks and plays on the parents sympathetic ignorance to avoid being grounded or held accountable for obnoxious behavior. Ignorance gives a stealth like quality to people who cannot grasp that their children, in fact may be little snots. But it is no excuse when a child hurts another child and does something that robs another of their innocence. I suppose I could fess up at this point. My daughters were rudely confronted with the reality that Santa does not exist by a boy who is only one year older than them, this friend is 8, my daughters are 8 and 6 years of age. He decided to tell them that Santa doesn't exist in such a rude crass little bullish way that they came home in tears. So I have held back my frustration and anger for the most part, my mantra is "its Under The Blood", but I have to admit that I am a bit angry about the situation. But it goes way deeper than that, it is a pattern of behavior that has hurt my daughters over and over again and I am to the point where I will not let them play together unsupervised. I must and I will resolve this issue in my heart. With the Lord's guidance I will find a way to rescue those drowning in the "entropic stream."
