Destruction

Among all the powers known to man there are few which rival the power to destroy. To destroy is to assert one's self. One's vision. Destruction is a natural part of creation. To shape the world around you is to declare right from wrong, fair from unfair.

But the truest form of destruction is to destroy that very need to assert one's self before the surrounding world. True identity comes from within, and the knowledge of "I can" can greatly outweigh any form of assertion, which by it's very nature is temporary at best.

I suppose in the end everything is temporary. Nevertheless, to be reduced to a destructive state is to have lost. But through it, there can yet be victory. The decision is what defines it as either.
