entropy! ---what is it?

entropy!   ---what is it? relevant?--let's see
]'' Entropy is a thermodynamic  property that can be used to determine the energy not available for useful work in a thermodynamic process, such as in energy conversion devices, engines, or machines. Such devices can only be driven by convertible energy, and have a theoretical maximum efficiency when converting energy to work. During this work, entropy accumulates in the system, but has to be removed by dissipation in the form of waste heat
The concept of entropy is defined by the second law of thermodynamic, which states that the entropy of a closed system always increases or remains constant''. 
''....... entropy is an expression of disorder or randomness''
''.......  the thermodynamic definition of entropy provides the experimental definition of entropy, while the statistical definition of entropy extends the concept, providing an explanation and a deeper understanding of its nature.''
''........entropy is essentially a measure of the number of ways in which a system may be arranged, often taken to be a measure of "disorder(the higher the entropy, the higher the disorder)''
The second law of thermodynamics states that in general the total entropy of any system will not decrease other than by increasing the entropy of some other system
An air conditioner, for example, may cool the air in a room, thusreducing the entropy of the air of that system. The heat expelled from the room (the system), involved in the operation of the air conditioner, will always make a bigger contribution to the entropy of the environment than will the decrease of the entropy of the air of that system. Thus, the total of entropy of the room plus the entropy of the environment increases, in agreement with the second law of thermodynamics''
''......much writing and research has been devoted to the relationship between thermodynamic entropy and the evolution of life''
''.......that life feeds on negative entropy .''
''...... the "order" produced within cells as they grow and divide is more than compensated for by the "disorder" they create in their surroundings in the course of growth and division.'' 
.... "living organisms preserve their internal order by taking from their surroundings  nutrients or sunlight, and returning to their surroundings an equal amount of energy as heat and entropy''
so much about entropy. 
essence:
in our native understanding
entropy=asur
negative entropy=sur
unless the entropy is reduced/contained/nullified, ---it manifests recreating the history, episodes  may appear different, ----theme is/will be  same essentially
how to reduce the entropy--it is thru reaching , individually, to a state of negative entropy, a state of perfect orderliness, the characteristic of , the innermost of the individual existence.
then only one  can contribute work of use  to themselves and to the environment
there are no other ways.
