   Then why is there so much dust in my apartment?   
   I find myself having to dust of random particles   
   almost every day. You're just looking at the order   
   but ignoring the chaos, which there is much more of.   
   Stars bump into each other, asteroid impacts destroy   
   worlds. Black holes suck up galaxies, and animals   
   shred each other, everyday for food. Why????
