A normal cool summer night.I was studying "Entropy & Free Energy" for my final exams which are scheduled after a month or so.Chemistry for me has particularly been a subject that's difficult to study but yet is interesting in its own respect.So..after about three hours or so I finished reading the whole chapter and at the end of the chapter, like a final point there was this small paragraph. The first sentence of that paragraph simply asked,
"why do things happens the way they do?"
I nodded my head in amusement as I thought it was a really interesting question.Why do the things happen the way they do.Why?
The answer was written just below the question and it simply said: "because its the most probable way."
I pondered and nodded my head again as it further stated that an ice melts because there are a lot more ways thru which it can melt than the ways through which it can unmelt.
More the ways something can happen higher the probability for it to happen.
I was amazed by this explanation, its a way of defining the "2nd law of Thermodynamics" but it can also be used to define so many things that we think shouldn't have happened.But they did happen; simply because there were a lot more ways in which it could happen.
Take for example anything.Why didn't you lose your virginity by 25, because there were a lot more ways in which you couldn't lose your virginity compared to the ways in which you could lose your virginity.
Similarly it answers almost all the questions that asks why a certain thing has happened.Amazing isn't it.Try for yourself.Think of a question that asks why did this happen.And calm yourself by the Universal explanation of the 2nd law of thermodynamics or simply because there were a lot more ways in which it could happen,so it HAPPENED.
No wonder why MURPHY'S LAW works so well.
So..cheer up.Its not your own fault.Its a RULE.It's UNIVERSAL.and it happens to anybody.Don't let yourself down just because things didn't go the way you wanted it to go.Cheer up and just think of the 100,000 ways in which it could've been even worse.So..why sweat.
REMEMBER the 2nd Law and simply say: "because there were alot more ways by which it could happen so it happened."
