- Danihan 9y agoYes, I know what it is. And yes, I think I could do it.
- alexssung 9y agoAnd I think I could fly, but I'm not going to try. See how that works?
- Danihan 9y agoI've been working two full-time jobs for more than a year now while maintaining a bi-phasic sleep schedule. Think what you wish, but sitting there in pain for a few minutes while my life ends (by my own accord) doesn't seem all that difficult comparatively. I take on very hard tasks daily, and sustain work on them for a lot longer than three minutes. Don't make me challenge you to a vipassana, friendo.
- erikbye 9y agoBurning to death only hurts briefly, when the nerves have had enough damage you can't feel. Adrenaline helps block pain, as well. Besides, self-immolation is not exclusive to those who have practiced mindfulness. Ever had a severe accident, like a motorcycle accident, or been ran over by a car? The pain comes after, not in the moment when the trauma occurs.
- alexssung 9y agoYes, the pain is only there before your nerves get burnt out, but even just a minute of being burned alive is enough to make any normal human being, including you and me, react involuntarily to the pain. And yes, I have been in high pain incidents. I recall the pain happening during and after.
