This post truly captures the randomness of my mind. I was listening to Third Eye Blind's Burning Man the other day and I started to think about self immolation. For those who are not familiar with the term, self immolation is a ritual that is performed by someone setting themselves on fire in protest. The most famous case of self immolation occurred in Vietnam in 1963. A Buddhist monk set himself on fire in the middle of a busy street. The crowd watched in amazement as the monk allowed himself to be consumed by the fire without moving an inch. What a hell of a way to go! Just think, how devoted do you have to be to submit yourself to such torture to prove a point?
