RE: In The Spirit Of Christmas...
"Creating and cultivating good will takes effort and lasts a lifetime, destroying it takes but an instant."
:) - I guess not exactly cheerful... I'll think about it some more. I am on the old "Creating a thing takes effort, destroying things does not" type of mood at the moment. Wondering why society so admires people destroying things when it takes so much more work and skill to actually create things.
@dwinblood: "every act of creation is first an act of destruction" - Pablo Picasso
I disagree with Picasso. :)
EDIT: Also I didn't know I was supposed to FIND someone elses quote. I thought the goal was to write our own. :)
The goal is to be free and do as you please....and I disagreed with it too at first.
That is, until I allowed my mind to open into the Myriad of infinite universes of which I know nothing.
There is always more that we don't know than what we do.
Yeah I don't see that as destruction.
Then you don't understand the meaning of the quote. Im not saying the meaning is 100 % true, but there is a meaning there.
That is completely possible. Things left to interpretation often go many different directions.
yes, :)
I also do not see Transformation and Destruction to be the same thing. ;)
But it is if you look at it a certain way. Im just saying; its worth putting some thought into.
As the course in miracles declares " nothing real can be threatened, nothing unreal exists."
That which can be threatened is merely an illusion.
As such, its destruction is only as real as the perception of it. In a way, destruction and creation can be seen as the same driving force. If nothing were ever destroyed, how could anything new be created?
I would say that transformation and destruction are in a sense the same: does the phoenix not burn to ashes before transforming into a more beautiful version of itself?
