Can order exist without chaos?

Once upon a time there where three robbers in the world (Licensed Image)

In a world plagued by shadows and fear, there lurked three notorious robbers, each more feared than the last. The first, a diminutive brute draped in darkness, struck terror with his mere presence. His strength was unmatched, he told his neighbors. His heart devoid of mercy, he proved it every second he lived. The second, a sly and cunning figure, his grin as deceitful as the substance and menace he exported, left a trail of chaos and despair. The third, secretive and psychotic, was a whisper in the night, his actions leaving his neighbors in a never ending state of alarm and confusion. Together, they formed an ugly alliance, a scourge upon society, their names synonymous with dread and unease.

When you trample on freedom and curb the avenues of expression, you inevitably infringe on the human instinct to innovate. A tiger that has lived in a cage all its life is no tiger at all. It is an animal that looks like a tiger but is devoid of all the characteristics that allow it to thrive in the jungle.
