I have an idea: It takes more time and work to create than it does to destroy something.
Examples:
1. A kid spends an hour building a sand castle, another kid jealous of the construct comes over and stomps on it, destroying it within seconds.
2. It takes a long time to build a good reputation, it can be destroyed(or greatly tarnished) in a couple days if a secret/scandal gets loose.
3. In 3 months a house is built in Pakistan, a button is pressed sending down a missile from a drone destroying it in a minute.
etc..
Definitions:
Creation: The action or process of bringing something into existence.
Destruction: The action or process of causing so much damage to something that it no longer exists or cannot be repaired.
I feel like there may be exceptions, but I can not think of any. Please provide counter examples!
