Directly visible method of recognizing one's power to change the world, enhancing the ego with a method which requires much less effort/energy than the creation of something.

Re: vandalism

HAHAHA

Well,
I used to vandalise all throughout middle school (Years ago, folks.)
and I can tell you that we simply
did it just for kicks.
It was like a drug,
We got the craziest high from
bashing in the window
of a parked dump truck.

I don't do things like that anymore, man.

Now that I don't kill spiders
in a house where they live too
they don't bite me anymore.

into something a therepist
with piss.

It all starts out with a thought...
"Gee, I'm bored, why don't I go wrist rocket some peoples windows!"

Form of dress is an expression; not necessary correlated
Vandalism is a malicious action.

Acting out destructive impulses at the vandalism stage is a red flag for worse behavior down the line...If its not corrected/punished.

Re: vandalism

Vandelism is sort of a rite of passage for some young people. When I was just becoming a teenager, my group of friends and I went through this rite of passage. We were not destructive but creative. On summer night we went looking for bicycles. We would take one for each and ride them, until we found another. We would then swap the bikes and use the next bike to find another. We were playing Robin Hood of confusion.

The whole gist of this vandalism was the risk taking. Part of being a man is to deal with risk and adversity. That night was hliarious. When it was someone's turn to sneak to a house to get a bike, the rest of us would yell "mister someone is stealing your kids bike", so our friends would get chased or get the bike. That increased the risk until the game got old.

Re: vandalism

Vandalism is a method of being able to revolt against the society.

Those people will do so, who have constantly been having a reason to hate the upper levels, or the whole framework of the society.

Doing such acts of destruction gives them the subconsious feeling that they are having revenge.

I personally used to indulge in this(on a minor scale, I might add) activity.

Throwing Sodium into the toilets for the explosion was my way of getting back to the very grouchy cleaner.
Dropping Potassium Permanganate into the HCl bottles was a way of having revenge against the ultra abusive Chemistry Lab. assistant.

Ofcourse, now I know better than to do it any more.

Re: vandalism

Vandalism is fun. Knowing that some dick is gonna come back to his car and find a huge scratch down the side is fun. Ruining someones day because you can is fun.
