Is there a Theory of Chaos?  Is a little chaos good for us?

These phenomena are often described by fractal mathematics, which captures the infinite complexity of nature. Many natural objects exhibit fractal properties, including landscapes, clouds, trees, organs, rivers etc, and many of the systems in which we live exhibit complex, chaotic behavior. Recognizing the chaotic, fractal nature of our world can give us new insight, power, and wisdom.  By understanding that our ecosystems, our social systems, and our economic systems are interconnected, we can hope to avoid actions which may end up being detrimental to our long-term well-being.

So, a little chaos can be good as it can direct us in a direction that we might not otherwise take.   Or in a moment of weakness, we go there.  Sometimes the decisions made in the split second can be better than the pondering and wondering type of decision.  Some decisions made in chaos can cause pain and misunderstanding.  I want to be done with the complex, except for in my college classes. and a little clutter here and there is not a bad thing.  After a stressful morning, I decided against housework and sat down to watch a movie.  We watched "Sully" and became memorized with a hero.
