I was tempted to write upon the stability of life by the comment in two posts before this by Yellowtofu. He stated that we can make an analogy of perfection and balance in the Carnot system. Hmm, I was never a good student in the senior high. To be honest, I cheated in my National Final Exam, including Physics. But, I happen to know about Carnot system.
Carnot system is the ideal machine, in which the output is totally equal with the input. Very efficient machine, eh? (Please correct me if I’m wrong, but this was written in my piece of cheating paper during National Final Exam! Hehehehe!)
Yellowtofu made analogy that actually the stability itself would equal to death. Because everything is stable and harmonic. And to think further, when everything is balanced and in order, what should we do then?
Perfect stability and harmony is only existed in utopia. Just like Carnot system is only utopic design. And I can imagine that in utopia, everything is perfect. There is this balance of love and hate, of black and white, of good and evil. Everything is in harmony. But then, life would be so dull. We will have nothing to do, even no chance to do anything. STOPPED. No challenge, no threat, and that would mean no opportunity to develop ourselves and explore new things.
What would it mean for human to stop developing? DEATH.
This makes a strong revelation, that actually there is a beauty in an imperfection. That friction would lead us to a full life. That the imperfection would lead us to the dream of perfection. And life itself is one big IMPERFECTION.
The struggling to reach the stability is what makes us alive. The journey to shed away our imperfection to achieve perfection is the real essence of life. The voyage for us to keep being better over time is what breathes us spirit. And we will embrace our final destination in death.

"The journey to shed away our imperfection to achieve perfection is the real essence of life"
Now, a new question for you ha ha (not mine actually, it belongs to Louis Vuitton): Does the person create the journey, or does the journey create the person?
I'm sure u'll know the answer with a little browsing here and there. Anyway nice second post about life, keep it up :D
All imperfection will eventually be perfected, if you equalise perfection to death. Everything is dying. This is a game that you have to play, yet you can never win. Second law of thermodynamics states that universe is a closed system, so its entropy will keep increasing until a maximum point, at which point everything inside it has equal temperature. If you took Uni level physics, you would be exposed to the discussion of what this law entails, something which is called heat death of the universe. In the end, the universe will be of uniform temperature, and there will be no free thermodynamics energy to sustain motion or life. This is an exciting discussion!
