Chaos, Constants and Choice

In his Prior Analytics, Aristotle wrote that there are two substances, the one of individual objects and one of general concepts. For me, there is not just individual space, but also individual time, all the physical objects are different and every moment is different. This is a form of chaos, as very small changes can produce very large differences, the life we see is so finely balanced.

With the study of physics, it has produced a few constants, these are numbers that needed to be added to equations to make them work. They also represent something unchanging in an ever changing world. If these constants, numbers, are changed by even the slightest degree than existence changes entirely, maybe life would not be able to emerge or the life forms would be very different to us. There is the multi-verse theory, that all different universes exist, infinite universes of every possibility, so that there is no impossibility. But I like to think that we are the perfect one, after all in order to be perfect first it must exist, and we can be in no doubt that we exist.

So we are very finely balanced, the necessity, as I call it, runs along a tiny line, it is like the smoke rising from a cigarette, tiny forces alter the shape dramatically. But we are sentient beings, with free will and the ability to choose. The way I like to look at it, is not so much our freedom, but our soul, what I would call the constants of the human being. Again these are fine tuned, however we are never far from our own self, sure we can feed the bad, or feed the good, before returning to ourselves. People can change, I know I have, for years I thought that I was the greatest writer that ever lived, and now I have to live with that scar. Age forms wisdom and I believe the longer we live the more we know our own soul, until we get too old and lose touch with life. But what I want to convey, is that we can't escape our own necessity, choice sits loosely around the purpose of our fate.
