Nacirema

It would honestly be terrifying to have to live for a year with the Nacirema. I would brush my teeth to the utmost caution to not create any holes for them to widen further. I myself am not fond of pain nor can I understand those customs. Thus, for me it seems like a nightmare to suffer to have to suffer such torture. It also seems like a miserable way to live, seeing oneself, their humanity as disgusting and increasingly defiled and then to create more deterioration to oneself. The ceremonies themselves are full of methods to further pain in attempt at purification. It seems like a sad way to live, to be born into a society in which everyone is sinful and must torture themselves and others in attempt to achieve some sort of purification.
