Continuing our discussion of Jordan Peterson’s 12 Rules for Life. The second rule is: “Treat yourself like someone you are responsible for helping.” However, in my view, this rule is not really about that.

The key concepts in this section are order, chaos, and the process that unfolds between them. Despite their abstract nature, these forces are present in our lives and are just as significant as more concrete, material things. A lack or excess of either one leads to undesirable consequences, which is why the search for the middle path becomes one of life’s most important tasks.

Do you agree that finding a balance between order and chaos is one of the important tasks in life? Share in the comments!
