Chaos and the Family Pet
    In a world of Chaos, as you walk outside, a stray dog crosses your path without so much of a glance up at you.  A cat will lay in the shade doing much of nothing. 

     In our structured world, walking down the same path, you will see that same dog rush to the extent of its lease where it gets jerked back and it continues to bark endlessly.  A cat stares out of a window at the world it imagines outside. 

     A world of Anarchy is in seeing that these pets are not happy and it is assumed that setting them free of their constraints is the answer.  Once released both cat and dog run around insanely for they do not know freedom and how to use it. 

     Those in Chaos are submerged in freedom from the beginning and they do not turn insane.  It has always been normal to be free and they live their lives by their biological programming, satisfying their basic needs for food water and shelter.  All else is experiencing living. 

     I dare say that all of us fall under structure.  It's just a matter of what type of reaction we have to our constraints.  Are you the dog that learns tricks and anxiously awaits rewards from your master?  Are you the one they call good dog, that just quietly sits around but actually suffers from depression and wishes it were dead rather than live it's life in chains?  Are you the one that is fueled with hatred and charge your chains hoping one day it breaks? 

     What happens with anarchy is that when you reach the point where you need to be set free of the slavery of structure, you will find freedom so intoxicating and blinding that it is maddening.  Your focused anger at the ruling elite is suddenly unleashed and it must be released.  One problem that faces you is to either learn chaos or begin the structure all over again.  Most often it is the second option.  The slaves suddenly covet the power they once despised, as it is all that they have ever known. 

     To live in chaos is akin to Native groups globally who live as part of the balance of life.  Each day begins with the jobs that need to be done to ensure their survival and the rest is freedom.  Both structure and anarchism strive to be above life and both seek domination over the living world.  They are both unstable as there is always a pull between them.  Neither is stable enough to avoid the pull towards the other, ever.
