Not Victims, But Forces There is a reason the Tamil axiom 'Aavathum pennale, Azhivathum pennale' (It is the woman who ‘creates’ you as well as the woman who ‘destroys’ you too) has survived centuries without dilution. It is not a proverb born of cynicism, nor a moral warning disguised as folklore. It is a civilizational diagnosis. Creation and destruction are not opposites in the Indian worldview; they are complementary expressions of ‘Shakti’ - the primal energy that animates, sustains, and, when required, dismantles. https://www.boloji.com/articles/55280/not-victims-but-forces
