Zo,
GeekUk was telling us his story about his use of alcohol and the cutting or burning of his flesh. The point I was making was that through my own use of alcohol I did similar things although it was not the literal burning and cutting of the flesh but a more symbolic cutting and burning of the soul and mind. Both leave permanent scar tissue.
There was a time in my younger days when my friends and I romanticized our hard drinking and drug use. We were bad boys. Back then who could have known what it was all about. Now, upon reflection, and many years of therapy, I understand. No, I never cut or burned myself literally, though I have known those that have, but I have never-the-less inflicted deep wounds upon myself.
