I was just in the bathroom today and letting out what seems to have been backed up for a hell of a long time and just thinking - if there is any time you are ever wondering about something to be grateful for, think of the simple action of filling up the toilet bowl with food that came through on the other side. Not only is there that feeling of great relief, of unloading an unwanted burden- maybe not quite on the same level of joy as unloading a sperm excess that has backed up for an entire 24 hour period (I usually don't wait that long) but on top of that there is the sanitation issue. We don't think about it, but people in some places have serious diseases because the shit just sits there, accumulates flies, smells bad, and then sanitation issues that can be fatal develop. No, with us in a developed country, we just watch it sail away and then just like magic, the only thing that remains is the smell. How satisfying, how heart warming. Hell if there is a reason you are looking for to believe in the Great Spirit - just look down at the wonderful invention of your toilet. It is only when it goes wrong, backs up - lets out the "Type III" water that we really can see what a blessing and miracle it can be when it really works.
This video from Fear of a Black Hat also explains how a simple act of defacation is unifying in a way - it is the great equalizer - regardless of race, economic status, or standing in society - it all comes out of the same place "Black, White, Yellow, Red, Brown or Gold, our shit all comes out of the same little hole".
