Destruction and Death share one common property, and that is it. Both
Destruction, and Death, are part of a greater cycle.

Death is a necessary occurance. It is part of the cycle of life... We
are
born, we live our lives, and eventually, we die, just like every other
thing that is a part of nature.

Destruction, is also part of a cycle, but the cycle of creation.
Destruction
unlike Death, can come in unlimited forms, and is generally speaking, in
the
eye of the beholder. Destruction can be as simple as <insert mortal
here>
destroying a painting that I made, or as huge as an entire civilization
destroyed.

While death is often a part of destruction, even symbolically, they are
not
the same, by definition, or by nature. Destruction is something that
occurs
in direct result of the will of a force, be that force divine, natural,
or
mortal, it is the will that causes the destruction. Death, on the other
hand
is 100% natural and only the result of will when accompanied by
destruction.

For instance, if I kill someone, while I have caused death, I have done
it
with the will to destroy them. However if that person dies of a heart
attack
or stroke, then there was no will involved, it simply is...

Therein lies the base difference between death and destruction.
Destruction
is the result of the will of a force, death is not. When broken down
into the
simplest forms, it is easiest to understand.

far
one of the most impressive, and frightening experiences I have ever
witnessed
firsthand.
