I really like (perhaps feel the need) to complete what was once missing, now found.
It's why I don't play video games anymore, or why I can never be a good mechanic;
I always need to "perfect" my assigned tasks, so as I never need to "have to" re-visit 'em again.
I'm sure my penchant for procrastination factors into this equation as well.
(It's also probably why I rarely take on a task that in which I'm uncertain to complete, 'cause it will nag on me, tirelessly.)


Few images capture the power of self-sacrifice in protest more
than that of Buddhist monk Thich Quang Duc, serenely posed in
meditation on a Saigon street as the flames of immolation roll
over his flesh.
