Passion and destruction - a collective exploration (beehaw.org)

I've recently been thinking a lot about self-destruction.

I've been thinking about how passion and destruction are interlinked. I've also thought that for creation to exist, destruction must proceed it.

I've had quite the difficulty to try and make sense of these feelings. I thought I'd try to explain and explore this idea with other people.

So here I am - Let's start from the premise above.

I've thought about this, I'm afraid my take won't be too deep, but that's just the cycle.

You pull things apart or away from their natural state and destroy what their original properties were to create something with different properties. There's no other way to make anything, creation is destruction, destruction is creation, and so the cycle will continue.

Even when. Your intent is purely destructive in nature you are creating something new, disordered and chaotic though it might be.

And it's not just humans doing it, it's happening all around you all the time, the universe breathes in this constant cycle of destruction and creation, no moment existing twice.
