    Agreed, at least around water, my kidneys are hyperactive and need constant lubrication. Food, though… meh…

    And I wouldn’t do it for the suffering, I would genuinely do it for relaxation, like a full habitat sensory deprivation chamber.

    What I do for suffering is try to face the sun for longer than I feel comfortable, the whole idea of self-immolation being purifying and such. I can see why some would think that, baking in the sun really does a wonderful job at bringing me back to the present through widespread pain.

      I just dislike suffering without a cause. That might be more my personal view on things, though.

      If I am going to suffer, then I want it to be for a reason. Like doing a fulfilling job well, or working out to feel better. Otherwise I could just punch myself in the nuts and meditate on my aching crotch.

      On a side note, I don’t seem to feel hunger as strongly as other people. I mostly get tired, while other people tend to get agitated / pissed off. Maybe I should try fasting for a while just to find out how I react. But, then it would be for a cause again…
