Creation & Destruction

What is creation?

Can you create something, without destroying anything? If you say yes, be aware, first thing you destroy is the space! Ok leave space for now. If you are going to use some resources for creation, you sure are going to destroy that, though you can claim that you are giving it a new shape, position or attribute. So we can never create anything without destroying.

So we can never destroy anything without creating.

Paradox?

The above paradox is born with our very definition of creation and destruction. Something new, favourable, useful, benefitable and which adds to what we are, we call it creation. Something that is not favourable, not useful, not benefitable and which subtracts from what we are, we call it destruction.

The insights are:

The very definition of creation or destruction is relative.

Creation to some; is destruction to others

Destruction to some; is creation to others.

Our own idea of what we are, defines it.

We can call it creative destruction or destructive creation, but both will mean same.

From the point of infinity and absolute, what would creation or destruction mean?
