Can we make the world civilized again?

Does your nose get out of joint when you see some grafitti?

marring the beauty of my adopted paradise!

Now, I will be the very first to admit

some street art can be "distinguished", if not "beautiful" LOL

But, come on now,

How is this anything but a desecration of civility

and the collapse of civilization?

I hope that you all have noticed

that, in preparation for the workshop that @aumsong gave
in Corinth, a couple of weeks ago now, called
Open to your Bliss
https://steemit.com/opentoyourbliss/@aumsong/open-to-your-bliss

We cleaned, landscaped, and painted this building
to hold the event (until we found an even better space).

What do you think of our efforts?

In the incredibly interesting and beautiful

Plaka district of Athens, below the Acropolis

have been marred by graffitti!

Here is one of the heros

helping us to turn this:

into this:

A big round of applause for this gentleman please!

p.s Bonus question:
Do you think that our ancestors had to deal with graffitti before the barbarian invasions?
