Question of the Day

[ayoub]

What does it say about the progress of the human race when, after mastering so many technologies, it's still easier to tear down and destroy than it is to heal?

Look at the stem cell debate; Has anyone questioned the ethics of bigger, better weapons with the same fervour?

Destruction has always been easier than creation.

It is unfortunate.

Think about relationships.

What's easier?

Tearing one apart or building one?

You can dissolve marriages, relationships and friendships with a few words, some emails and signing a few papers. But building something of value requires a lot more work than that.

Maybe it's a function of value.

Building something is often more valuable than destroying something. Maybe we have to work harder for that for precisely that reason.

Just musing.

There is much truth to this. Thank you for posting your comment... it's made me think about this issue in a different way.
