In a universe that is based around achieving order and equilibrium, and in a world that is driven by understanding and organization, this quote provides an interesting, challenging, and fresh point of view. It means that a person can never settle for the status quo or what society has deemed as "correct" or "true". A person should never be satisfied with only what they currently know and have experienced. People should always question the way things are. Revolutions occur from challenging the current system of existing and successful revolutions result in usually an improved system. Having an inner chaos does not necessarily mean simply being in turmoil. It means to have an inner turmoil that is caused by an endless curiosity about the world around us and a drive to constantly find ways to improve it and make it better for generations to come. From chaos comes wondrous creation, and if we allow thoughts and feelings within us to exist without great suppression, we give them the freedom to result in something greater, referred to by Nietzsche as a "dancing star". Almost nothing in life comes without hard work and dedication. Throughout the process of achieving whatever it is we want, we have to face many obstacles. You have to go through the bad in order to get to the good. In life, in order to develop yourself and become successful, you have to take the challenges that come at you. Chaos is the nature of our universe. Despite being defined as "disorder" or "confusion", it's actually resulted in the formation and creation of everything, even the most complex, intricate and organized structures and ideas. Our universe started out as gases, and after billions of years it has culminated into planets, stars and the like, just as we humans started from simple life forms and developed into complex social creatures. Here, Nietzsche is speaking to the positive side of chaos and disorder. Chaos and disorder leads us all to make mistakes in life, which are essential to our understanding of the world around us. If we didn't have a little chaos in our lives, imagine how boring life would be? I don't think anyone likes to be perfect all the time; in fact, it's impossible to do so. As long as we learn from our mistakes we will continue to grow as citizens of the world. When you make mistakes, you learn what not to do, what is appropriate and inappropriate. This knowledge allows us to teach others what we have learned from our mistakes so they don't make the same ones we did (i.e. when you have children). Everything that has improved the world and that has bettered humanity has had a sort of disorder to them. Nietzsche was trying to say that perfectly planning something and having no impulse can never bring the perfect idea one has to life. Without chaos, everything and everyone would be parallel, there would be no diversity like we know the world today. Chaos breaks the repetition of life and when that happens amazing creations are born. Nietzche tries to enforce the idea that perfect arrangement and neat planning to anything will never result in something that is meaningful to the world and more importantly meaningful to one-self. Every once in a while people need to just go insane and step away from the mundane stereotypical life we all live. People need to stop living inside of their comfort zones and do something that is completely new to them. If a straight line was meant to be continuously followed there would never be anything known to the existence of the earth as chaos. Without some craziness and some unexplained confusion, astonishing creations would be mere junk within the loop. To birth a one of a kind, world changing, meaningful piece of ingenuity takes one being 98 percent completely sane and in their mind, but the key to make it a one of a kind, world changing, meaningful piece of ingenuity takes one being 2 percent crazy, insane, or not completely there. One must think outside of the box in order to have a total original thought, to reshape science, to move people, to shine.
