We just do not speak through our tongue but we also speak through our minds. Our mind is a chatter box. There is not even a single moment when we can say that our mind remains calm and silent. Men

There is no possibility of creation without the five aspects listed below:

(1) Feeling

(2) Willing

(3) Thinking

Matter can only be destroyed by itself, with the passage or flow of time ( generally known as forward arrow of time in Thermodynamics).
