Yes, true. The river, however, does not think, so it knows no destruction. In the human eye it is destruction, because we have allowed it to be called so in that it destroys homes, kills people, etc. But we can look instead of at the water in its destructiveness and choose to see what we as humans are or aren't doing to avoid letting it be destructive to us.
In the nature's course, it is a cleansing, a renewal, a recreating of the flow. It's natural. If we were to take away every person on earth, we would not think of the water as being destructive, would we?

While I believe that there are many things that we can learn from nature on how to behave and how we should strive to be, we must not forget that we are made of many parts of all the elements of the world.

Yes.
