He will also be pronounced "disturbed"

I remember the burning monks in Saigon protesting the political status quo, 1963...made worldwide news

Brings to mind the 60's song by Dylan ...


TIMES THEY ARE A CHANGING LYRICS - BOB DYLAN







Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last

i am not sure why you are putting quotations around the word disturbed.

people who are not disturbed dont purposely light themselves on fire.

a sane person doesnt come to the conclusion that the best way to show their displeasure is to light themselves on fire in a public place.

I think disturbed fits just fine.

Although that lady surely is disturbed, I disagree that lighting yourself on fire makes you disturbed. The monks who practice self-immolation are far more in control of their faculties than most people.

I guess we will never know her real reason, nor the reason for todays self-immoliation other than the reasoning we are presented by the media to believe as unquestionable gospel.

People ridicule what they cannot understand. Just because shit doesn't fit in with your world view doesn't make it crazy. And Mr. Spock would see both the logic and honor in self-immolation.
