A Thought

Something has happened that made me consider the opposing forces of construction and destruction. One might look at them as good and evil. This thing that happened wasn't big. Rather, it was as small and mundane as could be. All that happened was that while trying to put my taxes together at the eleventh hour, I just tore my bedroom apart in search of various documents. I had not so long before finally put my belongings into some kind of order, wresting them from the chaos that had accompanied my third move in as many months. This final move having been in late November, I can figure that it took some four and a half months to achieve. It took a few minutes to scatter it all to hither and yon.

Could there be a better picture of construction and destruction- of good and evil? I wonder if we all aren't merely looking for our way to make our mark. If all of human effort is simply in service of trying to impact the surrounding universe, it's not so hard to understand why people do what they do. Looking for a motive for evil in money, love and other areas sometimes comes up empty. I think that the bad guys as much as the good guys may simply be trying to make a difference.
