Why is it so easy to destroy yet so hard to create?

Question

It seems like it is so hard to create something than to destroy it. Example: It takes awhile to clean something up, yet in seconds you can mess it up again.

Answer 1

Entropy?

Answer 2

Organizing matter energy into a functional design is much more time consuming, where as destruction shatters that functional state into fragments in seconds.

The reason is simple

Functional organized states do not exist by design in nature, only the functional building blocks, therefor mankind must first create the functional state with in his mind before placing it into action.

You could think of it like packing a U-Haul storage truck so that the weight distribution is evenly displaced over the axles, and the boxes fit perfectly, and there is little unused space, that takes far much more time possibly days, then unpacking the truck once you arrive at your destination which may only take minutes.

Answer 3

Perhaps it's not. Our dreams create imagery, our gestures create interpretive dance and our fears create limitations. Your very question on Yahoo created answers and contemplation. Don't confuse the ability to create with creativity. We're all creators.

Conversely, matter can never be destroyed; it's a law of physics.

Answer 4

A matter of laziness? It takes much less effort to destroy than to create.

Answer 5

IT SEEMS LIKE ,is the key here
if you don't like doing something or other -it will always be easier to put a negative slant on it
positive example:it takes no time to clean up the mess i made because i like a clean/tidy place

Answer 6

Because without order there is chaos. Chaos is the state without order and to create a state of order takes work, planning, and management to achieve, but to create chaos is easy since there is no order to chaos so there are more possible paths to chaos than order because order must be perfect and chaos is anything imperfect. Since there is only one state of perfection, and many states of imperfection that is why it is easier to destroy than to create? Understand? ;)

Answer 7

To destroy requires weakness, to create requires strength. If one has no strength, he/she cannot forgive. If one has no strength, they cannot over come hate. If I have no strength, I cannot carry you, neither can I look you in the eye or hold fast to your hand in greeting.

Because I have no strength, I will pry upon the female, because nature gave me stronger bones. But nature gave her a sharp tongue and a quick mind.

The most beautiful treasure nature gave to man is the female, but even this treasure males try to destroy both physically and mentally, even to the point that some will turn to an-others mans
shi** hole, where his body waste come out and equate that to the female.

You question is very profound, some of the answers that you will get will only point to not only lack of understanding, but to more profound weakness.

Answer 8

Yes, it's called entropy. I believe it is loosely defined as the tendency for things to fall into disorder or disarray.

Answer 9

When you destroy something you might be angry or just in that mood. When you create something you are just in that mood to do it.
