Remember in The Matrix how people would snap out of it when things were too perfect? I think we all need a certain amount of chaos in our lives. If you haven't read the book Tribe by Sebastian Junger I'd highly recommend it. I'm paraphrasing here but he says something along the lines of "disasters and tragedy are often remembered more fondly than weddings and vacations".
Don’t we want to wake up from the matrix? That brings up another reason why I feel an attraction towards chaos. Because it’s actually what everyone desires and I want to see how they react once they get it, maybe, like myself, they will stop craving disaster so much.
We do, my meaning is that if there's too much order we reject it, perfection and "happiness" has no meaning. So I do agree with you that we all desire chaos but only to a point. Too much chaos becomes disastrous, whereas not enough is tyranny. I'm actually reading a book right now - 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos by Jordan Peterson - that talks about the need for the balance between order and chaos.

This looks really good. I added it to my wishlist. Easy Link
for anyone else.
I enjoyed your comment!
It's one of my favourite books, it makes you question a lot about how things are in today's society without offering any real answers. I recommend it all the time!
That's what the book The Continuum Concept
did for me along with helping me to get in touch with wounds of not being properly nurtured as a baby in American society. That's the main focus of this book. It's one of the most important books in my life.
Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check it out!
And I just realized the irony that it got destroyed in hurricane Irma haha!
