We all know that the ground state of a system (the relaxed state) has the lowest energy. Also we know according to the second law of thermodynamics that the entropy of system always want to increase. Combination of these two constraints gives the free energy of system should be minimized to get the most probable configuration. The free energy has two parts
1- one is the energy
2-second is the minus of temperature times entropy.
so always there is a competition between losing of energy and becoming more organized and tendency to become more disordered. Depending on temperature each of the components can win.
This very similar to the patterns in life at least mine
1- an extreme tendency to be disorganized
2- Very much in need of peace and quiet, minimum energy of system.
The combination of these two gives the result that you enjoy an organized life only if the calmness you gain is more that the amount of entropy that you lose to become organized and it seems to be case in a lot of cases like self-organized systems.
P.S. I enjoy these types of analogies, they make sense for me. But do not take them serious.
