It's interesting how our bodies will revolt against our "higher reasoning" when we are doing stupid shit. His well laid plans for setting himself on fire were halted by his body once it felt the pain. Then all his brain was able to comprehend was "Oh, sweet Jesus, that hurts. Make it stop."
A wiser person would have predicted this and either completely doused themselves from head to toe in gasoline before lighting themselves so the job would be finished even when they had second thoughts. Or else they would have admitted the inevitability of defeat and had a fire extinguisher and some heavy blankets sitting on the curb next to them.
