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?

Ah, but because the river does not think it is able to be ceaseless and unyielding. Our ability to think is both our boon and our curse. How often have you thought that life would be much simpler if you didn't think so much?
Don't get me wrong there are many aspects of water that I admire. As it destroys it also creates. It can smooth the jagged peaks of mountains. From a plain in can gouge a valley. Not only is it the cradle of life it also has the ability to take it all away.
