gang related violence in Baguio CIty, a sign of weakness.

I have written this blog article never to campaign against the safety of Baguio City, of course there are different problems in various parts of the world, even London has its own share of problems. I have written this in the hopes of understanding the nature of gang violence, why would some people join this kinds of groups? what do they hope to gain from it? Does it really provide salvation for those who include themselves in the workings of a group or does it make people dumber and ignorant due to the fact that they are following a limited mind set of 3 or  more leaders in the group?

There is a growing number of teenagers and men aged 20-40 joining fraternities in Baguio City and other parts of Northern Luzon.  I do not really know the workings of this group and what they aim to do, but I have never heard of any good coming from this groups including sorority groups. In truth I believe joining fraternities is a major sign of weakness. A big sign of weakness, somehow this people were unable to find strength inside themselves and they still need others to affirm their existence, they still need another person to bully them around and shout at them, it is not a sign of courage and strength to pass the tortures given by this Fraternities, to me this is a sign of submission, weak submission, it is worse than being a mama's boy.

what can vandalism do? would they somehow enrich the artistic sense of the community by destroying private and public property? I think they should join artists group instead, they can dance their frustration away, they can paint their heart aches, they can try to create a living,earn on their own. help redefine the world, there is no good in joining fraternities, especially if they command you to harm others. There are other ways to express the self, in truth real power is the ability to control the self, to let go of hate despite the pain. To be able to stop the violence, IF someone in your family has hurt you deeply, there is no good in doing this to others as well, how will the pain ever stop . Men think that it is cool to be a part of this group, when in fact would it not be better to be able to stand on your own, change the perception of the world? What is frustrating is that they would not be able to understand the things that I wrote in here, do this people even read?
I wish at some point men would stop thinking that harming others for no reason at all is one way to live. They do not even have any justifications for doing so? If they want to do some good, why don't they attack corrupt politicians instead? why don't they plan a way to make this corrupt individuals go, in truth the real problem lies with this government officials, not us civilians.
