The thing about chaos ...

In view of the recent turbulence in the stock markets all over the world, this says something important about human emotions and drives, and a weakness that can cause people to careen blindly into huge catastrophes. Is it because we all are schemers? Are we calculating too much and when things happen not according to plan, everyone loses their minds? Maybe the Joker in movie "The Dark Knight" describe the situation quite well:

　　

Do I really look like a guy with a plan? You know what I am? I'm a dog chasing cars. I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it. You know, I just do things. The mob has plans, the cops have plans, Gordon's got plans. You know, they're schemers. Schemers trying to control their little worlds. I'm not a schemer. I try to show the schemers how pathetic their attempts to control things really are. So, when I say that you and your girlfriend was nothing personal, you know that I'm telling the truth.

It's the schemers that put you where you are. You were a schemer, you had plans, and uh, look where that got you. I just did what I do best. I took your little plan and I turned it on itself. Look what I did to this city with a few drums of gas and a couple of bullets. You know what I noticed? Nobody panics when things go according to plan. Even if the plan is horrifying. If tomorrow I tell the press that like a gang banger will get shot, or a truckload of soldiers will be blown up, nobody panics, because it's all, part of the plan. But when I say that one little old mayor will die, well then everyone loses their minds!

Introduce a little anarchy. Upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos. I'm an agent of chaos. Oh, and you know the thing about chaos? It's fair.

The Joker

You thought we could be decent men in an indecent time.

But you were wrong.

The world is cruel, and the only morality in a cruel world is chance.
