of society falling apart and breaking down, one that O’Brien refers to as a “cultural breakdown.”He says, “The falcon represents those forces that function productively only when disciplined.” In order to maintain structure and to prevent the gyre from widening further, our society needs discipline, otherwise our structure, our faith, or very nature as human beings deteriorates.

As the chaos of the world unfurls, the forces of good must counterbalance this force for without good, chaos holds no reference to compare it against to make chaos chaotic. This notion holds true for all forces in the universe as Newton’s famous Third Law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite re-action, thus when chaos reigns, good reacts to counterbalance chaos and bring the system into equilibrium. However, this relationship may not hold true forever as the reaction between

"The Second Coming: A Painful Truth?" For hundreds of centuries, man has pondered what revelations or spiritual awakenings will occur in future's time.
