I go out to my car this morning to get in and go to work. When I get out there, what do I see, but the words "Fuck you" etched into the front and rear driver side doors. Do people have nothing better to do, seriously? I wonder if it actually happened on New Year's Eve and I just didn't notice it earlier, similar things have been known to happen.
It made me think about violence that sometimes occurs after something like a sports victory. What is it about celebration that drives an urge in people to destroy things? How does, "Hooray, the Patriots won the Super Bowl," turn into "Let's overturn some cars"? (This actually happened when the Patriots won the Super Bowl, I lived in Boston at the time.)
The only thing I can come up with is that the elation and energy created by some joyous event needs some sort of release. You could run a marathon, but somehow destruction is more satisfying, its certainly faster. If you've ever smashed something in anger you know it seems to release some of the energy boiling inside you. Why this is, I don't know. I don't really know where I'm going with this, I guess its still much more of a question than a thought.
Why does happiness sometimes give us the urge to destroy?
