self mutilation...

Ever see those horror movies like Hell Raiser. Remember how Pin Head came to be?

Wasn't he an artifact collector, and found this little cude-puzzle? He tried to open it and all these hooks on chains grabbed him, and ripped his skin apart.

Feeling a razor finely slice your body open slowly. Just imagine a bunch of tiny razors skinning your body, slowly, that....horrible pain.

The thought of such pain creeps me out, it makes me scared. Scared one day some crazy mutilated man will torture me.

Ever see the movie Event Horizen? That's one of the scariest movies I have ever seen. The thought of people who enjoy such pain, inflicting it on other people, creating such horror. :eek:

We are evolving into something, and the possibilities are endless. This is the kind of pain I would not like to bring to people. Mine, is different (and starting to seem dumb).

I've seen this self mutilation in tribal customs, and I've seen it in a whole different perspective. That perspective is creepy in my opinion. I'm not interested in cutting myself by the way, too scary.

Well that's a load off my mind.

Yes, I've seen both movies mentioned. Event Horizon was (how shall I put this mildly...) tripe. Mind you, it did have its qualities. Since no one is really sure yet how to travel from one point in space to another before a photon can traverse the distance, it was a good thought experiment. The rest... eh.

I've always been a fan of horror movies and novels. Morbid fascination varies in degrees from one person to the next; from the squeamish to the interstate-accident-rubberneckers to the Dahmers. If you really think about it, you have to have a great deal of morbid fascination to enter the medical field. Take a job as an EMT or become a trauma specialist. Forensic expert? You bet.

Not far from here is the U.T. Body Farm. You may have heard of it. A tract of land where cadavers are allowed to decay under varying circumstances. Some are left in the open, some partially buried, some left in vehicles...

Point is, morbid fascination should not be directly associated with psychosis. Trying to understand mortality is a question that remains with us from the very first time we understand that there is something called "death". I think I was 5 or 6 when I asked Mom Kol if she would die one day.

When the Colonel died, I went into a depression that lasted well over a year (on the inside. Outside I functioned as usual). I can't explain my reasoning but I watched some Faces Of Death vids. Perhaps it had something to do with the Floodgate theory. Basically, you can only take so much before reaching your upper limit. Once you find it and can deal with it, you can continue to function somewhat normally. I pushed myself as far as I could and eventually came to grips with death. It can only scare me so much.

I mourn the loss of loved ones and realize that we shall all have a final moment. The good things that happen between then and now are precious to me as they have never been before.

Make some of those moments.

Mute, I do not believe what you witnessed is considered self mutilation to those cultures performing the acts. They see it as a way of life. Some as a bridge into manhood/womanhood. They see it as an act of beautification, not desecration.

Would I ever put a lip plate in? Not a chance. Would I ever undergo scarification rituals as a passage into something greater? Of course not.

Self mutilation to you, self beautification to others.

Ok, this is odd...

I just recalled a dream. It was probably suggested by current world events but...

The sky was blue, the air was dry. Men walked the streets with rifles and supply bags. They approached a man, spoke to him, he dropped his pants and was voluntarily castrated, bandaged and taken to sort of ambulance so he could go somewhere to recover.

I got the impression that it was a sort of enlistment program.

Bah... That's all I recall.

Self mutilation in the way that you describes is pretty fucking scary and probably one of the worst pains a person could feel. But i'm sure most of you have read my thread on my experience with self mutilation, and as i said in the thread. there was little physical pain. Ummm. Yeah so i have quite a bit to add to this, just not now. i"ll be back.

as far as self mutilation.....tattoo's, peircing, they are all a form of self mutilation (albiet a very small form of it), and like it has been said, many forms of self mutilation are actually just self beautification.

/me likes horror.

you seen Strangeland?

/me shivers.

I'm not scared of death. If I was going through the pain I'm so scared of I'd be wishing I was dead.

Ok, I was wrong about the tribal custom remark. Self beautification never crossed my mind but it makes sense now, so disregard that remark. But I know there's people out there who like feeling pain, they like cutting themselves up and feeling that eeky pain! Tatoo's or piercings don't seem creepy to me, I could deal with that pain.

I'm afriad of waking up one day, and a bunch of creepy guys with their muscles showing, eye ball stabbed, or whatever, walking around doing the same to other people.

That was just an example...

The thought of blood, and screaming, and all that... *shivers*
