Entropy: why life seems so hard and complicated

Summary:
Why is it always an uphill battle?I'm late for work one day:'But of all days why did I oversleep today when I have such important appointment', I scream at myself. Skipping breakfast, I run to the bus stop, and I'm lucky as a bus turns up right way. 'I'm going to make it', I think, so relieved, except the bus is early and the driver waits for two minutes at each bus top. Each of those minutes seem like eternity.No matter how hard we try to get our lives together, things seem to get more complicated. Problems emerge in our relationships and family life, finances, work, health and so on, that seem impossible to solve. We’re overwhelmed with the never-ending bombardment of life problems, and often feel like life is falling apart.Entropy: why life seems so hard and complicated

Why is it always an uphill battle?

I'm late for work one day:

'But of all days why did I oversleep today when I have such important appointment', I scream at myself. Skipping breakfast, I run to the bus stop, and I'm lucky as a bus turns up right way. 'I'm going to make it', I think, so relieved, except the bus is early and the driver waits for two minutes at each bus top. Each of those minutes seem like eternity.

No matter how hard we try to get our lives together, things seem to get more complicated.

Problems emerge in our relationships and family life, finances, work, health and so on, that seem impossible to solve. We’re overwhelmed with the never-ending bombardment of life problems, and often feel like life is falling apart.
