Building and Destroying

I read that one of the highest rated job satisfaction career are in demolition.

It makes sense to me.

When I was young my brother and I would build these complex Lego structures. Futuristic cities, cable cars, nuclear power plants, helicopters, spaceships, you name it. We would spend hours creating these things. In the eyes of children they were works of art.

Now my brother and I, not being sentimental, would proceed to destroy these marvelous creations. The power plant would break in half, the cable car would drop from an imaginary mountain, the cities wrecked by the spaceship crashing into them...

For those moments, destroying things was fun. The only times we regretted that destruction was when a Lego piece would crack or some favorite connector would split and we couldn't build those things exactly how they were again.

How many times have I destroyed something I was creating because I wanted to start over. Too many times. "Lets just stop and start over!" sometimes works...sometimes doesn't. Sometimes a piece is broken, a part twisted, a connector lost and cannot be found again.
