The Relativity of Creation and Destruction

Creation and destruction are often seen as opposite concepts, but they are actually relative and a matter of perspective. The human mind tends to have biased definitions of what is considered destructive or creative based on the impact it has on the self. For example, the detonation of a nuclear weapon is seen as destructive, but it is also a creative act of creating energy, heat, and light. The subjective judgments of good and bad and the labeling of events as constructive or destructive stem from our selfishness and limited perspectives.
