Our capacity to recognise and make note of destruction is perhaps more active than our ability to recognise positive creative efforts. But our actual ability to destroy is far ourpaced by our creativity.

Walk outside right now. Walk up and down the street. I can do this in Detroit and not be assaulted by any individuals. There are houses everywhere. People living together in peace. For the most part.

Yes there is violence and destruction out there. But by a large measure peace and harmony are the norm. It is because destruction and violence are so unusual that we notice them and become concerned about it. Yes we need to work to make it better. But losing site of the positive does not help us in the end.
