Mortification

This was too good not to blog...

It is amazing how people think it is perfectly acceptable to torture the body with bone-snaping plastic surgery, starvation diets, etc. in the name of the gods of youth and beauty, but freak out if someone performs corporal mortification (which is normatively not supposed to permanently damage the body.) for spiritual purification.

How very true.

God bless,
