Thich Quang-Duc, his Buddhist prayer beads in his right hand, opened a box of matches and struck one. Instantly he was engulfed in a whoosh of flame and heavy black smoke that partially obscured him from view. The chanting stopped. The smoke rose and, as the fierce flames brightened, Quang-Duc's face, his shaven skull and his robes grizzled, then blackened. Amidst the devouring flames his body remained fixed in meditation.

.......To me, Mohamed Bouazizi and ONLY because I have NOT read any different .. that He took his life due to the
inability to make ANYTHING right for his family, himself or his country, sorta of like - no way out - ..in physical
life. His Death symbolizes to me the beginning of a whole NEW BETTER WORLD for all the people in Tunisia..

SPOT ON .. and i hope the cruel policewoman who slapped him grows to become a more whole and empathetic person ..
