I can't help but think that a big part of people losing their minds, chopping off their limbs or genitals, because they think it's not them, has to come from living in a Western world that's rich and comfy, where our basic needs are met, and that affords people the ability to overanalyze every nonsense thought that comes into their mind to the point of obsession. And when that same selfish world says, "Hey! Do anything that makes you feel good, go for it! In fact, it's good for you!" despite the long term harm that mutilating oneself may cause to that person, and the people they love, it results in the madness that we witness today. If you live in a third world toilet where you experience a real survival-based suffering, where you don't know where your next meal is going to come from, where you don't know how you're going to feed your children, when you're worried about ISIS torturing you, turning you into a human bomb, or killing, raping and mutilating your loved ones, you don't have time or opportunity to listen to any inner voice whispering in your ear telling you, you should lop off your sex, telling you that having arms and legs is the actual cause of your inner anguish. This madness we see is what happens when we live in a fat and comfortable world. We have to create our own drama, and cause our own suffering, because there isn't enough external, truly life-threatening drama in our lives anymore. It's demonic, and evil, and the only thing that can heal these people, and this world is Christ Jesus.
