"In the world of zero and one, self-immolation was a simple act. Fire, a purifier. Violence, an unrefined response to the complex machinery inside the head that manufactured a thousand kinds of sordid poison-- each corrupting and vilifying, dislocating, blaspheming, decapitating, and corroding the universe of feelings that arose in the human breast... I too wanted to embrace the simplicity of binaries, one large sun and another small, circling each other, smug in their combined efficiency. A grand, utterly destructive gesture made more sense than repetitive small episodes of pain." -Abha Dawesar, Babyji
