Within all humanity, contains a malevolent part in themselves that desires to corrupt the purity of the world for their own benefits. Humans do not have the slightest bit of concern for others, being blinded by their own selfish ambition. Personally, I have witnessed several inhumane acts in my lifetime.

The word “destroy” is to put an end to the existence of something. When they executed The Chief, what they “destroyed”, and could not create, was peace and compassion.
