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.

Consider basic physics too and the concept of entropy. Any act to order something takes energy. All physical things continually tend to disorder. So distruction in the physical sense is a natural process. It is creation and ordering that is miraculous. However that ordering has side effects in that it requires destruction of some other ordering.

Where passion comes in. Well a few ways. First in the end creation requires willing something into existence. Second blind passion can have undesirable side effects on you and the world around you.

My only point is that what your talking about has a basis in science as well and the fundamental laws of our universe.
