Graffiti and Albert Camus


Italian graffiti is the best in the world...they are going through too much suffering...



Habit Kills:

Consider Albert Camus, who, in The Plague, blames the obliteration of a fictional Algerian town by an epidemic on one thing: consistency. “The truth is,” Camus writes of the crushingly dull port town, “everyone is bored, and devotes himself to cultivating habits.” The habit-bound townspeople lack imagination. It takes them far too long to take in that death is stalking them, and it’s past time to stop taking the streetcar, working for money, bowling and going to the movies.


If you are over 65, your duty is to isolate yourself, to the best of your ability, to avoid getting sick and placing stress on hospitals and health care workers...who are this year's front line soldiers...with inadequate weapons and logistics.
