Fighting Against Entropy

As I worked with my roommate to get the apartment clean before the school year starts, I thought about how much effort it takes to fight entropy (disorder) and put things back in their proper places and in their proper conditions. It takes a lot of work to keep things clean, neat, and in order, but it is worth it to me because seeing a neat and clean space is a tremendous relief, even when I'm exhausted from the effort to get that relief.
