It takes so long to build something and just a second to destroy it. Such is the nature of life (hard work).
Which is why, when all the right powers come together, and everyone has done their part in earnest, the manifestation of human achievement is much greater than the sum of its pats.
Like Obama’s inauguration. Or my kid’s May Day today. Or my daughter’s school performance next week. Or something as beautiful and simple as a baby’s first steps.
We strive to reach and live those moments, and they don’t happen very often. Destruction is easy, messy, expensive and sad, which is why the world has so much of it.
But out there are human achievers. I’m happy to be one myself.
