Destruction is child's play
We can't know for sure who has
been sowing those mines in the Red
Sea. but one Arab terrorist group
claimed credit, saying they did it to
nIiow off their "power."
Such lunatic thinking overlooks
tue simple fact that it takes little
power to destroy. Destruction is
?usy, compared to what it takes to
build and create. Any child, in
.luding the children who inhabit
adult bodies, can destroy.
Think how easy it was, for ex
ample. t'or some nut to con
tiuninatc those Tylenol capsules a
? niple ot years ago. Did that re
quire "power"? And what kind of
'power" did it take for that crazy
>? shoot up the McDonald's
;cstau: iiii in California, killing 21
innocent victims'?
1 remember with sadness the day
ir chinch building in Louisville
?? i> bti'.iied to the ground. Several
iu . ions of people had poured
' : ot* time energy, and financial
?inc<-s into that building. It had

taken years to build. But it was
destroyed in about three hours by a
20-year-old arsonist. Power? It re
quired only a few matches and a
twisted mind.
Actually, most of us learned in
our earliest years that it's much
harder to build up than to tear
down. Two children can work for
an hour or two, painstakingly
building a house of wooden blocks
or a sand-castle on the beach, only
to see little brother come along and
destroy it with a single kick.

The sa*ne principal applies in ail
human relationships. Some people
are planners, builders, doers, will
ing to pay the price for creative ac
complishment. Others, probably
greater in number, are kickers.
They seldom create anything. But
they can knock holes in whatever
anyone else tries to build. You see
them in business life, committee
taeetings, public education, and,
heaven help us, politics.
Unfortunately, our mass media
tend to idolize the destroyers more
than the builders. The heroes of
film and television are often
macho types who swagger about
using powerful weapons, fast cars,
big trucks, and explosive devices to
blow up, burn down, demolish,
and "waste" both things and peo
ple. Like those terrorists, they call
attention to themselves; but they
will never make this a better world.
