Violence aveugle and not so blind

Mindless violence versus mindful one

Today's Inktober prompt in French gave me certain trouble. I believe that "stupide" and "mindless" (the English original) are not the same, although admittedly it is the first translation that google translate gives you.

So. I decided to go with "mindless". The cat settling down with popcorn to watch something suitably explosive vs the self-same cat practicing kendo with his bamboo sword.

To keep with the overall theme of this blog, I can tell you that French equivalent of "mindless violence" is "violence aveugle", i.e. "blind violence".
