True stability results when presumed order and presumed disorder are balanced.
Order Results Stability
True stability results when presumed order and presumed disorder are balanced. a truly stable system expects the unexpected, is prepared to be disrupted, waits to be transformed.

Writing about 2,000 words in three hours every morning, 'casino royale' dutifully produced itself. i wrote nothing and made no corrections until the book was finished. if i had looked back at what i had written the day before i might have despaired.
Morning Book Writing
I grew up in a very religious family and it is the motivating force to every thing i do. i am fortunate to have had adults all around me who really lived their faith, in helping other people and doing the best you can do. the world wasn't so wonderful back then, with segregated rule in the south. but we were never hopeless and we never despaired because we had adults out there struggling with us, being there for us, and buffering us.

The diseases of the present have little in common with the diseases of the past save that we die of them.
Past Disease Littles
Day by day and almost minute by minute the past was brought up to date. in this way every prediction made by the party could be shown by documentary evidence to have been correct; nor was any item of news, or any expression of opinion, which conflicted with the needs of the moment, ever allowed to remain on record. all history was a palimpsest, scraped clean and reinscribed exactly as often as was necessary.
Party Past Expression
Armed with the knowledge of our past, we can with confidence charter a course for our future. culture is an indispensable weapon in the freedom struggle. we must take hold of it and forge the future with the past.
