My task is to speak to the youngest of our species, and by way of welcome, voluntary, accurate, moral, and scientific methods, my task is to offer a way to perceive of life on earth as a good thing.
In order to accomplish this general goal there is a need to build a foundation from which to proceed, so as to step onto the foundation, once it is built, and then to step to the next step along the way.
What is the most basic principle known to living beings?
I offer a competitive answer to that vital question as a way of life by which the life form passes through life, from moment to moment, and from place to place, knowing that life is good.
Who could argue with that most basic founding principle?
What is a better basic founding principle?
How can you, or your friend, or your mother, father, sister, or brother invent and then offer to you a better basic founding principle if they think that life is not good, or even if you think that life is not good.
How can you know what is good if life isn't good?
Even if you are not yet convinced, beyond a shadow of doubt, that the best, or nearly the best, most basic principle is that life is good, please consider listening a little longer as I explain a few things I have discovered on this path where life is good.
Have you heard about the scientific concept called entropy?
Does that scare you? Is it beyond your reach to even think about knowing a scientific concept such as entropy?
It is easy. It is fundamental. It is the stuff of life, the basic stuff, and if you don't know it, you may be unarmed by that failure to know that basic principle of life.
You may find yourself in a position, some day, at the mercy of some other thing, where you are too weak, and the other thing is too strong, and that other thing consumes you, and you are no more, and the other thing is now even stronger, as it consumed you, leaving you absent from class, absent from church, absent from bedtime, absent from morning breakfast before moving onto your next day on earth.
[too much concept leaping from life is good, to entropy, and then suddenly to liberty?]
Entropy can help all the kids reach liberty sooner, which can be seen, by anyone, as a good thing.
Now, kids, and anyone else reading this, there are those who know more than you do, and they may be wondering why you are being told that entropy is a good thing.
They may be thinking that kids are better when kids are not told about entropy, so they may want to get in between you and this book, and they may want you to be protected by them, so that you don't know about entropy, because it may scare you.
You may find out too much about entropy, too much for your own good, and then you will be weak, you will be too scared to help yourself, and so it may be better for you to forget about entropy.
What if you are brave instead? If you are brave, and you are not scared by entropy, you may then realize that entropy helps you along the way, as you proceed in life, and you see that life is good.
What then is entropy? How does entropy work as a basic principle of life? How does entropy help me make the best of life, and how does entropy lessen the work I have to do in life?
Entropy is the name of the power, or the force, that destroys things, consumes things, breaks things down, and kills all things, leaving nothing behind.
Does that sound bad?
Does that sound scary?
Do you think that this book must be thrown in the fire, because now you are scared to death?
What do you think causes things to burn? What do you think causes things to die?
There is a word for those causes, and that word is entropy.
Look up the word. Even if you throw this book in the fire, or in the garbage, and even if you never return to this book to read what this book offers to you, look up the word entropy, and know what that word means, and once you know, think about what I am now going to help you see: there is an opposite to entropy, and the opposite of entropy is ectropy.
If you think that life is bad, not worth living, at any moment in time, while you are still alive, your thoughts have moved toward entropy.
If you think that life is good, and worth living, at any moment in time, while you are still alive, your thoughts have moved toward ectropy.
You may not find this lesson in any other book anywhere on the planet earth and there is a reasonable explanation for that fact to be a fact.
I may be wrong.
You can know better.
Entropy is the name for the force, or the power, that causes things to deteriorate from a complex thing into a basic thing. Watch a snow ball melt and see how entropy works.
Ectropy is the name for the force, or the power, that causes things to become snow flakes, or people, or planets like Earth.
If there is a devil, which I can't confirm myself, the devil would be closer to entropy.
If there is a god, which I can't confirm myself, then god would be closer to ectropy.
The devil destroys things, breaks them down, melts things, takes things apart, and kills life, if the devil is entropy.
God, on the other hand, if god is ectropy, assembles things, and creates life.
God can be seen as the life force, or the power behind life, and if you don't like to use that word god, you can be scientific about it, and you can call the life force by another name, if that makes you feel better, and that word is ectropy.
Do you think that life is good?
If you do, then we are both on that first basic principle, and we stand here with God on our side, if God exists, and we stand here with ectropy on our side, and we can be certain that ectropy does exist, even if ectropy is just another word that means the same thing as God.
Life is good, and that is just another way of saying that it is a good idea to work toward living. We can work toward the goal of staying alive. We can work toward making life worth even more, making life even better, and better, and better, and to do that, we can make life less miserable, less difficult, less of a chore, and those two things work that way.
Better moves away from worse.
Life moves away from death.
Worse moves away from better.
Death moves away from life.
Ectropy moves away from entropy.
Entropy moves away from ectropy.
Evil moves away from good.
Good moves away from evil.
God moves away from the Devil.
The Devil moves away from God.
This amounts to an offering by me, the person writing these words, to you, the person reading these words, and this amounts to a welcome by me, to you, to see, if you want to see, the basic fundamental principle of life.
Life is good.
How do you know?
Don't take my word for it.
See what happens to you, and your life, as you move the other way. When you move away from life being good, you will know the truth, and you won't need me, or anyone to tell you the truth, there will be no room for doubt, life will be bad beyond a shadow of doubt.
The next part of this book will show to you how one thing relates to another thing when one thing is on one side and the other thing is on the opposite side.
If you are on the side that knows, beyond a shadow of doubt, that life is good, and you meet something that is opposite of you, it may be a good idea to know better.
Knowing worse is bad.
Life is good.
