Entropy

The serie is called “ENTROPY” and is based on the second law of thermodynamics. Entropy is the measure of disorder in nature. Everything eventually degenerates into chaos and will ultimately perish. Life is a constant battle against the entropy of the universe. We fight not only against the glaring decay of material things, such as cars, houses, and the human body, but also against immaterial things, such as marriage, success, and happiness. Habituation and habit gnaw away at marital bliss. Time crushes success. And happiness fades under the longing for more or something different. Everything is a battle against decay, and humanity is the loser from the outset. That’s not a problem as long as humanity is a good loser, and accepts loss as inevitable.
