Ask, and you shall receive!
People crave chaos and destruction.
This fact is undoubtedly pathetic, but creation comes from destruction.
So, is it the prevail that follows the chaos, or the chaos itself that is addicting?
(Here are the responses I received)
J: The chaos lets you know that you are alive and as much as it sucks some times, it keeps you from becoming bored.
Me: And how much does it say about a person if they create chaos or drama to keep themselves amused? You do not need chaos to feel or know that you are alive, there a various ways to feel anything.
Jax: Chaos engages the mind and keeps us moving. We often learn things about ourselves during times of chaos, but when the creation of chaos becomes a way of ignoring reality, and responsibility, that is when it becomes dangerous and addictive.
J: Hahahaha, what does it say indeed? And for the record, drama is not chaos, drama is drama, and typically could pretty much be scripted, no chaos there.
Me: Drama is a destructive tendency and that in itself is a giant clusterfuck of chaos. However scripted it may be. (laughs)
Uncle Dan: I believe your premise is faulty; people in fact crave order and peace. However, it is our differing definitions of order and peace that create the chaos and destruction. Religion is a good example.
Me: Touche! Damn. I have nothing to argue against that. =P
Zach: I believe people crave scapegoats rather than philosophy, in large. But that's besides the point I'm going to make. Each person craves their own meanings, reguardless of whether it be to simply survive, or to change the world; destruction, creation, love, hate, etc. Some people find happiness through happiness demonstrated in others. Some people find happiness in the destruction of the poisoned world we've come to live and lament in. Some people simply do not find happiness at all. I agree that religion is a massive point of segregation, which is a condition under which most of the world thrives. With a common enemy, your friends draw closer, whether you like them or not.

It was a fairly interesting conversation. My uncle certainly put an end to my arguments though. Trust him to be so intelligent, and wise. :) If anyone else has anything to add, please, feel free to do so.
