Basic research into the laws of physics points us to the laws of entropy. The theory of entropy and how these effects are manifest in our world does not mean that they are manifest in all worlds.

Entropy is really active in our world, in human beings, and in human works. Self-destruction is also a part of entropy.

Counteracting entropy requires constant effort to maintain things so that they do not collapse under its weight.

This involves ourselves, our society, the buildings in our world, human relationships, etc.; everything in existence is subject to the laws of entropy. Yet the Gods have created human beings with the ability to defy these laws and prevail against them, provided they put concentrated effort into doing so.

Strong energetic units can be more resistant to entropy, in contrast to passivity, which allows entropy to take place. The stronger our buildings are, the more resistant they will be to entropy; the same goes for our ethical character or our civilization.

We must make it a goal to strive to overcome these forces of entropy, which constantly work for our destruction.

We overcome entropy by being aware of it, but also by applying the virtues of effort, following the teachings of Aphrodite.
