JANU: You ask if destruction is a necessary part of change. In the physical world, it is, although not always as it might seem. What is destroyed in those cases is relationship and that includes all forms of destruction. So, you see, the nature of change is the change in relationships. Best to be seen in this way, for even though relationship is changed, the record of the previous relationship is still there for reference and reconstruction. For when relationships change, elements of those relationships can be utilized, recreated, so do not limit perception of change to destruction resulting in loss.
Life is the association of all things. And, in the larger understanding, nothing is lost. That is a superficial perception, based on limited understanding. The focus is Life and its evolution, its enrichment. And the changes and the movement of relationships is part of this and enriches life.
So, you see, even in the process of change, which may include what you see as a destruction, is the beauty of the evolution of relationships. Part of the miracle of Life. So be at peace with this. Anticipate it. Live in the moment and embrace change. Namaste.
