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.
Passion often leads to creation (which I interlink to destruction). The way destruction can be seen can vary a lot. It can be self-destruction when passion carries people too far; it can be destruction because we need to destroy the old to create the new; it can be destruction and creation because we are misguided about the current state of existence (I think the NieR games can be a really interesting exploration of that).
