Everyone knows creation takes longer than destruction, but interestingly maintenance and repair as systematic tendencies take longer than creation. Not in a per-instance/marginal cost sense but in terms of the knowledge/skill/infrastructure needed for a repair culture.

If a thing breaks in 5 seconds, it might take 5 minutes and near-zero information to replace it (not counting transport/waiting): take broken thing to dumpster, order replacement online, unpack replacement when it arrives.

But even the simplest repair, like gluing 2 pieces together, assumes more time, knowledge, inventory (glue), and skill than creation (at your locus obviously, not the thing factory or glue factory)

In Hindu trinity, maintenance > destruction >> creation. Brahma (creator) is basically awol after creation, Siva (destroyer) is prominent, but Vishnu (preserver) dominates. I’d guess by temple count that Vishnu = 10x Siva = 1000x Brahma. I’ve never even been to a Brahma temple.

Seems like a post-hoc rationalization because nobody wanted to build temples for him. If you only have budget for 1 temple you’re obviously going to build it for the maintenance guy.
