Life tends to counter entropy and increase possibilities, and we can support that kind of energy in any situation. In one sense, it is happening all around us all the time, and is therefore totally obvious. In another sense it is so totally inclusive, constantly changing and richly nuanced that it evades any attempt to characterize it one way or another. If we aren't careful, we lose more than we gain when we subject The Dance to analysis or proof, because when it is carved up and separated out it appears to be something other than the dynamic whole it actually is. So this field is often best apprehended through faith, love, appreciation or insight.
Some people use the nice parts of it as a fuzzy-warm refuge from the hard realities of life.
Some individuals, groups and tribal cultures have highly evolved cooperative patterns that are very congruent with The Dance of life.
