@happyjourney I am pretty sure there is no "code of honor" in Los Angeles when it comes to what is tagged and what is not tagged lol. Believe me when I say nothing is off limits. They will tag anything that they think they have enough time to spray and get away with. Everywhere you make a full 360 turn in L.A. you could spot graffiti somewhere. When you enter Los Angeles, the actual welcome to Los Angeles sign is covered in graffiti.
I could name the parts of it where you won't see graffiti. They tend to be where the rich live. I take it the gangs would get arrested real quick to mess around those parts. So as much as commissioning a piece would sound good, I am sure they would just write over it.
Yeah I think it is communication. But its not always skillful communication. The police also are messengers from the PEOPLE who belonging gets transformed into a medium.
Grifftis and wanting to hurt Griffti artists are both rooted in our selfish nature.
Both involves wanting to express one's own views by direspecting other people's property and body.
That guy in Norway killed all those people because simply, he hates people that annoys him and thinks his point of view is correct... applies to Griffti artists and vigilanti wannabes.
People will always be selfish, they will always have flawed natures. But sometimes in society there arises particular people that turn into criminals without conscious they only think of themselves. People like that need to be stopped before they do any more harm. This is when violence can be a quick means to a positive future.
So violence is useful sometimes. It is a natural part of our society, and is necessary when it is used properly. The guy in Norway killed those people in hate, without sense, in cold blood. But if a guy like that went to Mexico and killed dozens of the drug cartel in the same way. Even if he was a vigilante he would be hailed as a hero and a saint. Mexico is a hell on Earth right now due to criminals like the ones that keep vandalizing this mans truck.
That is where they started, and now they do much worse.
THE PROBLEM IS BIGGER THAN YOU AND THIS POOR MAN THIS IS A SOCIAL AND ECONOMICAL PROBLEM. the next thing is: everybody is connected no?if i am one with everything i should be compassionate enough to understand these kids.. but this is a theory that is not taking in consideration the poor hardworking man.. is it his karma to have his truck painted?do we have to stand everything? and these kids need to feel some resistance from the society when they do something wrong the firm hand of the authority that says :this is wrong!this is a difficult case a real challenge when an idiot is doing harm to you and cannot hear nothing cause all he can see is himself .. i have a neighbour like this..at the end something bad always happen to these kind of people they are attracting that energy to themselves!yes but the hardworking man? well this is his karma!remenber if you are a buddhist a lot of things can be explained by the rules of karma!that does not mean we cannot defend ourselves but when nothing can be done what else to do than to say it is the karma it is best maybe than getting involved in something dangerous some violent act that will not be good for you even if it means victory for you...getting violent is not good for anybody for the inside i mean.. who can advise a book for you to read if you came to this forum you must be ready for some deeper understanding of these kind of things!i hope you will find a way to deal with that situation inside yourself if you stay phisically powerless .. maybe there are other ways to deal with it than the material one!gain some wisdom and understanding out of it! maybe a closeness with that man.. a feeling that people can share this story on this forum! what is positive about all this story?
People will always be selfish, they will always have flawed natures.
Sounds like those "people" need to cultivate, rather than starting making more excuses and glamourising bad habits like some noble philsopher.
Your only using Buddhism as escapism and a aid to further your own self-fish goals, of course you still harm yourself and others with your greed, anger and ignorance.
Don't get upset though, because I am still doing the same thing! You and me are no more special than anybody else, and our problems are no different to anybody else.
