As destructive as life,
As healing as death;
An institutioner of strife,
Just as prone to bless.
It is all that is good,
Yet with an evil trend;
As it was the beginning of things,
It can also be the end.

You're probably right with your solution, but I am wondering how your hot four-letter word is "all that is good". What am I missing?

I am throwing another solution in: How about "love"? Yes, doesn't completely make sense either, but wouldn't it suit a girl's riddle quite nicely?
