In hard times, people often look for support in dusty places. Some people go to church, or the library, or the bar.
Sometimes, hard times become difficult times. Sometimes, difficult times turn into terrible times. But almost always, terribly difficult hard times wear themselves out.
You know why?
Homeostasis.
You know why else?
The Law of Conservation and Isaac Newton's Laws of Motion.
Look: Everything always wants to get somewhere else. Everything can't stop moving and shifting and being--AND--Nothing can ever be destroyed. So: Things scientifically and empirically have to get better. Plants and animals and people and weather and sewage and everything all want to go somewhere else. Hard times are a chance to see homeostasis up close and personal.
Ugh. Science is so emotional sometimes.
