Tajda,
I think too many people simply like eating meat so much, that they don't care about its origin. If available and affordable, they'll have it.:-( ...

Hi, Tajda. Nice interpretation. The 'problem' with being active is that it requires effort and by nature we are selective in choosing where we invest it. Short-term gains blur long-term benefits - our general human weakness I'd say. ...

| Comment: | This graffiti can be seen on the wall in front of Abbey Road Studios in London which is where The Beatles recorded all of their 13 albums. The area around the studios has become a place of pilgrimage for Beatles fans and is graffited with many of their lyrics and quotes. One of the messages that stands out from them is the one in the graffiti. It is a reference to a song named titled Michelle, written by Paul McCartney of the Beatles in 1965. The song not only influenced other musicians (it has been covered for several dozen times) but also had an impact on general public. The graffiti was probably written by a Beatles fan whose parents were also fans of the Beatles and decided to name their child after one of The Beatles' songs. By seeing this text and all the other graffitis around the studios, one can quickly realize why the Beatles are regarded as a cultural phenomenon. Even though it has been more than 40 years since their break-up, they are still an important influence for young bands as well as a subject of many sociological books which try to analyse the reasons for their popularity. |

| Graffiti text: | Urdu: Uth Bandh Kamar kya darta hai phir dekh khuda kya karta hai.
English translation: Get up, fasten your self, fearlessly and go forth. Then see, god will help you! |
| Graffiti translation: | This line is of Pakistani language. It is of a famous song, sung by Pakistani singing icon Shehzad Roy. Like most of his songs, this gives the youth of Pakistan a message. A message of fearlessness. It says don't say quiet, tell others the bad things you hear. Say it with passion and courage. Then only god will help you. This line/song is very inspirational and sends a good message. |

| Graffiti text: | Life is free! |

| Comment: | The sentence: Life is free! can be interpreted in different ways. One way is that life cannot be free for many reasons. Firstly you have to survive and you have to pay for basic necessities. Secondly, nobody can be fully free because in societies there are limits as to what you can and what you cannot do. The frequently heard sentence »I want to be free«, relates to this. Thirdly, many people will never be completely free because they wish to escape their situation, for example prison, mental institution, marriage etc. Thus freedom also depends on the situation and on the environment where the person is living. Another way of looking at this sentence is that life is given to us and we do not have to pay for it. When a newborn becomes a new member of a family, the child is considered free because he/she does not have any worries or any problems. But still, I think even adults should stay positive and think that life is really free. |

| Comment: | Batman is a fictional character, created by artist Bob Kane. The first story about Batman was published in Detective Comics written by Bill Finger. Batman’s story is mysterious because his real name is actually Bruce Wayne who is an American billionaire, industrialist and philanthropist. He also witnessed the murder of his parents. This tragic event happened when he was a child. In order to revenge the murder of his parents, he decided to be a hero in a way. He trained himself to become physically and intellectually a strong person. He was known as a handsome and sexy man, according to his female fans. He created a costume, which was inspired by the bat. His outfit was made from leather. To stay mysterious he wore a black mask in a shape of a bat. Also he had a yellow logo in which was drawn a bat. This outfit, I assume, is the reason why he is called Batman. Compared to other heroes or superheroes he does not have any superpowers. He uses intellectual abilities, detective skills, science and technology etc. We could say he is a brave, strong human being who wants to make the world a more pleasant place for others. |

| Comment: | In this graffiti, we can see a contrast between the title and the picture. It does not present the whole picture and we can just imagine what happened. We can see a woman, holding a smoking gun, so I assume she shot somebody or something, perhaps in self-defense. The interesting thing is that her face is red as if she was shot in the face. The title MISS PEACE might mean that this lady could be an agent or even miss peace like, for example Cat-woman or some other female savior. It is possible that she was hurt on her duty. But still, it is a fantasy because she could not survive if she was shot in the face. |
