Are you a builder or destroyer?

BUILDERS AND CATERPILLARS

In our world, there are two types of people: builders and destroyers. Builders focus on creating, growing, and shaping the world around them. They bring forth new ideas, technologies, and innovations that move society forward. They are driven by a desire to make things better and improve the lives of others.

On the other hand, destroyers focus on tearing down and breaking apart what already exists. They are motivated by negative emotions, such as anger, jealousy, and hatred, which lead them to attack and destroy what others have built. Their actions cause harm, suffering, and despair to those around them, and they do nothing to move society forward.

Builders come in different forms: scientists, inventors, artists, teachers, and entrepreneurs, among others. They see the world as a place of infinite possibilities and are always seeking opportunities to create, innovate, and spread knowledge. They are the ones who bring new ideas, products, and services to market, driving economic growth and progress. Builders are also the ones who create a sense of community and belonging. They build relationships, institutions, and organizations that bring people together and strengthen society. They create the infrastructure that allows communities to thrive, such as schools, hospitals, and public services.

Destroyers, on the other hand, seek to undermine and upset the structure of society. They are driven by a desire to tear down what others have built, either out of malice, spite, or a sense of entitlement. They cause chaos and destruction wherever they go, leaving behind a trail of harm and hurt. While destroyers may achieve temporary success by tearing things down, their actions ultimately lead to a sense of emptiness and despair. Rather than building something worthwhile that will last for generations, they leave destruction and chaos in their wake. As individuals, we have the power to choose which path we take. Will we be builders who drive progress, or destroyers who cause suffering and chaos? The choice is ours.
