Dangerous orders

There is a natural desire for order, which is the desire to create harmony in our lives, in our surroundings, in art, work, in human relations. It is the desire to understand and to feel connected and to be a part of the universe.
But the yearning for order is twofold. One is the order of parts to a whole, which is the order that can be said to exist in the thing itself.
The other is the order of things to an end, for
a purpose other than order in itself.

Too much order in the wrong place is not a good thing. Everything must be ordered according to some purpose.
