The physical world is made of objects, which lie dormant until a force moves it. In this dormant state, objects are in a state of inertia. In that state of inertia, objects fall apart, deteriorate, and breakdown over time as gravity and the atmosphere act on it.
To prevent this breakdown, there must be management and maintenance, and even repairs and upgrades. So inertia leads to entropy.
Which are terms in physics, but allied as well to biology and life on the whole. Actually, this is what the bible means by life and death: death tends to deterioration and decay and decline; life tends to growth, cultivation, fruit and reproduction.
So, to prevent entropy, in life we must move, manage, maintain, escape from that state of inertia in body, mind, soul, and every area of living.
To escape the inertia that leads to entropy, we must first find a tool that allows us to move. With tools we must align against the obstacles and blockages that stop us.
Alignment of tool with the object that stops in a state of inertia, even our mental or spiritual state, then allows us to leverage the tool to cause the object, whether mental, physical, spiritual, psychological and so on, to be in a state of movement, with the force from the tool giving it energy to "live" and not "die".
All that is needed is direction, purpose and intention, and the physical object, such as our body, comes alive and lives with flowing growth.
Core community provides the energy to escape from our state of inertia, which causes entropy, and thus engage the force of energy necessary to live for our aspirational self, self-actualization, and to be concerned for the tertiary cares of life.
This is the required mechanism to rise to our potential quality of life. The collective energy of a community operates as the ultimate force to break dormancy, ensuring that our systems do not break down, but grow, cultivate, and reproduce true value.
