How we admire those who alway have a quick wit and a sharp tongue, who can whittle down another person, belittle those he dislikes, insult people's looks, tastes, likes.
How about the men who destroy people's lives, minds, civilizations and masterpieces of art. Do you think they feel powerful?
Look what destruction they have rendered! They have laid waste to so much, destroyed what can never be replaced.
How about the builders, doctors, mothers, caretakers, farmers, nurturers? Are they powerful? The builders of men, creators of civilization and artists are those who create miracles out of dust. They give life it's meaning. They give love a home.
They are the strong men and women of our world. Those who are kind when they don't have to be. You will experience all of these in your time. You will be the builder and the destroyer. At the end of the day you will change and you will change the world.
How would you like to change it?
Ecclesiastes 3 - King James Bible:
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
