While watching men burn the world, sometimes i wonder why they do that and if there's some way to persuade them to change. I wrote a dialog about it:
curi: doesn't that hurt?
Mark: what?
curi: the fire
Mark: what fire?
curi: you're burning off your legs
Mark: no i'm not
curi: you can't walk anymore
Mark: sure i can
curi: then walk 10 feet, show me
Mark: later, i'm tired
curi: [astonished] you lie so much!
Mark: why are you so mean and critical and negative?
curi: such a better life is possible. you could walk and produce instead of putting all your effort into destroying yourself and your children
Mark: i'm happy, my life is pretty great, go bother someone else
curi: you burned off your legs!
Mark: so what? it's a sexy new look
curi: that's not a pretty great life. that's not happiness
Mark: i think i know more about my feelings than you do
curi: can i help? would you like some medicine?
Mark: no
curi: why not?
Mark: i have my own vision and goals. go live your own life and stop trying to control me. and what do you have against fire or pain anyway? my kids LOVE them, which proves how rational fire and pain are, since kids are born without all the hangups adults like you have.
curi: would you be willing to read a book and reconsider?
Mark: [doesn't reply]

sometimes they say they'll read the book, then don't. or occasionally they read it by themselves and say they already agree, and don't discuss. or say they disagree but don't have quotes of what they disagree with.

lol
burnspo
> burnspo
is that a typo?
no. it's a word i made up from pro-ana lingo.
burnspo = "burn inspiration"
from bonespo which is an extreme form of thinspo where people's goal is to look like living skeletons. thinspo is short for "thinspiration" or "thin inspiration" which is imagery to remind people of their goals and to trigger them not to eat.
