#Self-Immolation

Self-immolation offering is the grandest speech delivered by the body as a fiery altar, conveying convictions through flames rather than words. This silent interrogation of the world guarantees one of two responses: compassion or incredulity. The success of the ritual depends less on the blaze and more on the media glare it attracts. In the end, self-sacrifice proves to be nothing more than a yardstick for measuring other people’s attention.
