It takes far less effort, and is much easier, to destroy something than to create it.

The same is true whether it is a living thing, an object, or something else.

For a living creature to be born, it must be conceived through mating and spend months or years growing inside its mother's body.

Well, of course, many creatures are laid as eggs, then fertilized and raised inside the egg until they become larvae, but either way, it takes time.

Yet even a creature born and raised through such effort and over such a long time can be killed with remarkable ease.

If it is a human, a sharp blade thrust into the heart will almost certainly end that life.

No matter how long it took to be born and raised, or how much effort went into acquiring excellent skills and knowledge, everything is reduced to nothing.
