It is very interesting how people can be sometimes. There are the
builders and there are the destroyers and then there are the very special group
which are the builder-destroyers.
The first group the builders are easily understood because
they work hard at building something and are never afraid to ask for help in the
building of whatever it is they are trying to build.
The second group
the destroyers is also easily understood because everyone can easily see that their
mission is to destroy whatever they can whenever opportunity presents itself,
some are more intent then others and they go looking for anything they find just
so they can destroy it.
The most dangerous group of all is the builder-destroyers these are the ones that are hard to see and understand. They are
usually very good at building and getting people to work with them to build the
project they are working at. They have a great “gift of appearance” they are
great talkers and are usually very good at convincing people that what they are
doing is going to benefit the community. This statement is normally what swings
people into believing them. They make it appear that you as a person who was
asked to join in and help are also making decisions or helping to make decisions
when in reality behind your back they are changing what was agreed upon as a
group.
Because you as a person who joined in believe that what you are
trying to do is for the good of all you continue to work to what you believe is
what the group as a whole is working toward.
SUDDENLY…… Wake-up call!!!!
You start to actually pay attention. You start to notice that this
great person (who by the way, does not believe in lying, swearing, cheating,
and maybe even stealing (unless it is someone else doing it for him)is
actually not just a builder but also a destroyer!!! You start to notice that he
is pushing people who were great for the group away from the group, these good
hard working people are finding it impossible to work with the “destroyer” side
of this builder and the group dwindles from dozens to less than ten and these
remaining people are having doubts but some of them appear to be afraid of this
“builder-destroyer”, it almost appears that this builder-destroyer has something
that he is holding over the heads of some of these people.
In the early 1960’s I knew a and old gentlemen who happened to be in
the Yukon during the gold rush, he was a good man who believed in God, he was
also illiterate but even with his illiteracy he was a brilliant man, he would
tell me stories of the “Old days” how people helped one another, but there was
usually one around that just out for himself and use others to his advantage,
this type of person was the one who would be sure to attend the religious
service whenever it was available on Sunday and he would also try to show up
everyone else by making a big donation, perhaps trying to pay off the sins of
the week. This was the type of person that the old man and all the other “honest
men” out there were afraid of, he could quote from the bible, but only what was
convenient and suited his purpose. This is the type of man that was a
builder-destroyer even at that time.
What is very interesting about this builder-destroyer is that one of
the ways he has been pushing people away is by forcing them to do what he
himself has never shown that he can
do himself, in my belief this is extremely hypocritical, the worse of it is that
he kept pushing until it became too much and more people abandoned the group.
The next big step was when this builder-destroyer was asked to
produce financial records for a project which he was working on he refused to do
so. This set other people in motion and wondering what was really going on, why
not show the financial records? If there is nothing wrong going on there is no
reason to keep from producing them for the group. Yet the “fearful people” did
not say anything, WHY? The only thought that came from this for those who were
not afraid was that he must (1) be hiding something about the money and (2) it
appears very obvious that he must certainly have something that he can hold
against these fearful people, they are basically very honest people, perhaps
they made some mistake and were unfortunate enough to be caught by him.
All of a sudden it becomes very clear that it is not what the group
as a whole wants or even what the greatest majority of the group wants that
matters, it most definitely is not anything remotely to what would be considered
a “community service”, but what really is in play here is “I am a founder”, “I
have built this built this” (no
consideration for the others who helped to build), “therefore what I want and
need is what happens, if you don’t like it I will cause the destruction of what
I have built”.
It should have been very obvious, people had warned some of the group
about this builder-destroyer, he had gone through great measures to attempt to
destroy a group that he was previously with, he did not succeed so he went to
great lengths to belittle the people from the previous group. The only thing is
that when properly examined, everything that he was saying about the people from
the other group is exactly what he was doing and what he was capable of doing
and did.
It became very obvious that he has no ability to do something
original, but he is great at copying what others do and take the credit and even
put his name to their work.
The page you have just completed reading
is fact and the people involved know who they are. I just thought that I would post
this so that if there any others out there who have fallen prey to these
“builder-destroyers” you can hopefully get some ideas from here on how to avoid
them or perhaps even stop them. I did, I confronted the him.
