Creation vs Destruction: FIGHT!

[Bebek Sincap Ratatosk]

reframing:


if we accept that a creative trip involves destroying stuff now and then,

    are there disadvantages to being on an all-creative trip?

Under that assumption, I think the only disadvantage might be the limits it would place on your BIP.

Burn out.

[Cramulus]

any sustained course of action will become bars in one's black iron prison, so I don't think that's specific to creativity so much as it's a product of being on an all-anything trip.

good call about burn out, rog

I've definitely found myself exhausted with certain topics by indulging them too much. I've been working on the Dreaming LARP nonstop since late December, for example, and I've reached a point where I can't even talk about it anymore. It's like I drunk too deeply from that creative well and now I've gotta sit and digest before I can drink more.





what about the converse? What are the advantages/disadvantages of being on an all-destructive trip?

Eventually they hunt you down and shoot you like a dog.

Also, you won't get invited to many parties.

One can't exist without the other.

What are the advantages, though?

In addition to burnout, being all-creative might prevent you from destroying habits which may have been useful once, but which are no longer useful.

For example, if playing D&D every Friday night used to be a great way for everyone involved to unwind from the week, but now people's schedules make it more hassle than it's worth, you need to accept a Destructive action to break the old routine and take the time to develop a new one.
