Destruction

    I think my highest density of useless musings come shortly after midnight. It's now 0035 when I start typing this. Well, the name I've given this thread of mine probably gives it the impression that it's something big, but really it's not. In fact, it started out as a thought on how much a few words can do.

    Like, well, the main example I had was of a friendship. Let's say you had this wonderful friendship which took years to build up or something, then one day either in an emotional mood, as part of an experiment, or with someone masquerading as you, you have an outburst. Of words. As in, you say things. Not-nice things. I guess really not-nice things have to be said in order for a friendship this wonderful to be ruined, but I think not-nice things in general would at least affect the relationship. Well, this much is obvious. Then I started thinking about how 'the pen is mightier than the sword' and basically all those proverbs about how words could be more damaging then actions. Then I thought about how damaging actions were.

    Really, I think when they say 'the pen is mightier than the sword', they're really saying that words can be more damaging than action. For the way I see it, the reverse is possible too. In fact, currently the situations I'm thinking up all seem to indicate that actions in general can be more damaging than words. I guess it's just that people generally curb their actions more than they do their words, thus less action-damage occurs than word-damage. In total.

    Basically... damage... it's destruction, isn't it? So my mind wandered and thought of how it is very true that things are destroyed much faster than they're created. Very much so. Isn't that weird? I mean, if you ignore the way things work, it would seem vaguely reasonable that the same amount of effort should be put into creation and destruction. In fact, so many times I'd wished destruction were less swift, regretting many stupid things I'd done. Then again, if it were the other way round I'd probably be cursing, wondering why things take so long to remove. Or whatever. I think I'm reaching the point of delirium where I can't think straight at all. Kinda zigzaggy, so I still can type in English. I think.

    Anyhow, this is basically a useless wondering on why the world's like that. Expect more, sooner or later.
