Entropy and life

Entropy is a measure of the randomness or disorder in a system. In terms of life, entropy is about change and randomness. Life is full of different experiences and changes that can bring disorder to our lives. When things change, they become more unpredictable, and entropy measures that level of unpredictability. For example, when something changes in our lives, like a job or a relationship, we might not know what will come next and that's where entropy comes in. The more unpredictable things are, the higher the entropy is.
