Horrifying and sad. Mental illness and vexation are not things to laugh at.

I am curious though — and I’m not joking — there have been a handful of self-immolations as of late. I remember another gentleman, last year I believe, setting himself on fire (and surviving?)

I’m probably not going to word this question correctly, but I wonder what this might say about our where our society is at spiritually and mentally when self-immolation becomes a form of suicide/protest.

Again, I might not be wording my question correctly.

It’s a style issue.

During the Vietnam unpleasantness, self immolation was in style for Buddhist monks, and bell bottom jeans were popular here.

Now self immolation is becoming popular for incels here, expect bell bottoms to become in style in Vietnam...

Yes I get what your saying.

The enemy runs this world, and will until a time only God knows.

That is concept many either aren’t aware of or just plain ‘ol refuse to believe.

My men’s group is studying a book about spiritual warfare at the moment.....another concept unless they are Christians many either aren’t aware of or just plain ‘ol refuse to believe.

IMO this young man was under that very type of attack.

Unfortunately this time, satan was successful.

‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭5:8‬ ‭NLT‬‬
[8] “Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.”

Have a blessed day.
