Chaos Never Dies Day - November 9

Most of us feel almost every day that the world is full of chaos, mess and that everything is mixed up, full of connections and confused. There are many days dedicated to relieving tension and calm, to breaking peace from the mess of the world, and the day of Chaos Never Dies that falls on November 9 is one of them.

Chaos Never Dies Day  is meant to tell us that the perfect and quiet world we all aspire to simply does not exist, has never existed and will never exist. There are too many creatures and objects and energy forces in the world and everyone turns to their side and everything mixes and binds to each other so the chance of a bit of silence is completely unlikely. Instead of fighting this fact, this special day has come to tell us that we must accept it. We need to understand it but make the most of the day, the chaos and the world as it is and just take a relaxing break.

The history of Chaos Never Dies Day 

Chaos is a state of disorder or confusion, and it appears in every aspect of human experience even before the term is even created.

In Greek mythology, chaos is the source of all that exists, the formless primordial matter made of a jumble of the four basic elements of the world: earth, air, water and fire, from which the first gods and the first world division were formed. In fact, chaos, confusion and disorder existed even before our universe was created, making them an integral part of our lives. If it reminds you of anything, it is the chaos described in the book of Genesis, before the creation of the world.

Chaos theory is a branch of mathematics, weather forecasting, physics, economics and philosophy, which describes many systems, which even when all the laws governing them are known, cannot be predicted to develop in the long run. These systems are called dynamic systems, and are highly sensitive to minimal changes in starting conditions. This phenomenon is known in pictorial language as the "butterfly effect".

The origin of "Chaos Never Dies Day" is unknown. Apparently got lost in the mess. But many people are spreading this idea that is reconcile with the fact and slowing down, taking a break and enjoying quiet time with themselves.

There is a whole industry of products designed to release stress. Spa treatments, meditations, yoga and more. All of these things help relieve stress, but that does not mean that the chaos in our lives has stopped if we have fallen asleep in the bath with oils and soap bombs or put a mask on our face. The chaos never dies.

Chaos can have different meanings for different people: for some it's a busy day on the work schedule, for some it's navigating a big, bustling city. For others, the chaos is a noisy family dinner. No matter what your specific chaos, the key to enjoying life is to embrace the confusion and face it head on. Here comes the day of chaos never dies - it is completely dedicated to complete and enjoy the chaos in the world around us.

November 9 is also World Freedom Day

Bathtub day - October 7

In such a demanding world that takes most of your time from you, it is good to know that there is one day a year when you can claim your right to a relaxing quality time with yourself. Bathtub day is more than just an excuse to spend in a luxurious bath - this is the day to remember and appreciate the invention of the modern bathtub that has made our lives much more comfortable.

Although archaeological finds have found that plumbing systems for bathing existed as early as around 3300 BC, the earliest bath found was in Crete, in 1700 BC.

Some sources claim that the first modern bath was invented in 1828, perhaps even October 7, Bath Day, but it turns out that they are based on Pike News, a fictitious story by H. L. Manken who wrote the false history of the bath (Bathtub hoax) and claimed that the use of baths in England began Only in 1828 and in the USA only in 1842.

Modern bathtubs in Western countries can be built-in, sunken or free-standing and many of them are made of acrylic or fiberglass materials, enameled or made of porcelain-coated steel. The traditional Japanese bath is usually made of wood. Today there are bathtubs in different designs and styles, and there is also a return to the retro style, of bathtubs as of old that stand on four legs.

How to celebrate Bath Day?

The bath day should be celebrated by the bath of course. Replace your regular shower with a bath and take care of the appropriate classic atmosphere, of solitude and serenity:

Fill the tub with bubble foam, essential oils, bath salts or bath bombs.

Light some candles.

Drink a glass of wine.

Turn off the lights

Listen to music

Just make sure you stay awake!
