Why is it ok to cut and scar yourself with plastic surgery but it is "wrong" to cut your body yourself with knives ?
I was talking to my friend about this the other day.
Why is it OK for someone to go under the knife, get horrible surgery, and continue cutting, tearing, and re-arranging their face ?
But if someone cuts themselves with a knife, they are quickly sent to a mental institution ?
Is it all for money, because doctors and hospitals make money from people’s insecurities ?
Why are people allowed to get so much surgery but it’s “wrong” for a person to be a cutter ? When it is somewhat almost the same thing ?
