I would agree. I am reminded of something my husband points out from time to time: vice is easier than virtue, but it is less creative. Its easier to go down a mountain than up (although you have to watch your feet more on the way down because the momentum can lead you to slip.) Hell can always be made worse, but its the same playbook over and over. Acts of virtue, no matter how hard, resonate with life, light, and originality. Virtue takes us forward (the true "progress".)

yes, we all know it is way easier to destroy something than to build or create something. America was very hard to get to where we are today, destroying it is going pretty fast comparatively speaking.
