00:00Why do people engage in self-harming behavior?
00:03We are born greatly vulnerable to self-harm.
00:08Self-harm is not merely when you pop some toxic pills, somebody is getting into neurotic
00:13relationships, somebody is tolerating toxic relationships.
00:16Self-harm is not merely that.
00:18Those are just very visible expressions of self-harm.
00:22Self-harm is when you make a bad choice, thinking it is good, irrespective of what we decide,
00:28the usual decisions that we make will be towards self-harm.
00:32It's just that sometimes the bitter consequences of those decisions are revealed.
00:37Sometimes they remain hidden even till the moment of death.
00:40So we keep saying, oh, I made a good decision, oh, this thing has worked out for me, oh,
00:44this relationship is good, this career option has been great, oh, I built a mansion, oh,
00:48I'm such a successful person, oh, I'm respected by all.
00:51And then we don't realize that all that we have done has actually just been a very long
00:56series of steps in self-harm.
