Interesting. Science suggests that "entropy" prevails with the Universe preferring chaos.
And pedants might insist that "lasting longer" is the definition of stability, not the result of it.
Rather than inflicting such JoeBobbery on you, I would postulate that stability is preferable to chaos and requires an effort. Your "universe's preference" represents directed energy to counteract natural entropy.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
