"Walking around like their s**t doesn't stink."
That is one of the many sayings that triggers me to layout how it really is. Would it be of any benefit or really matter if it smelled or not? Everyone leaves a s**t and most of the time it's useless, unless of course you are a using it for fertilizer, which evidently is not the case for most city folks residing in Metro Manila. Why does this saying really have any significance in describing how one person treats another, or if that person tends to be boastful and imposes their dominance of making any indication that they are better than others? Why not just call it for what that person is instead? Self-important, self-centered, self-righteous, self-confident, over confident, snooty, scornful, cocky, contemptuous, haughty, vain, egotistic or pompous to name just a few alternatives. Do you really have to describe people or their actions with words related to f***l matter and the sense of smell? And if so, how specifically did you come about that belief and when you do use that saying, does it bring about more descriptive words about personality, attitude and behavior assessment? I presume not. It may bring about the feeling of soft ample tissue being wrapped around four of your fingers, or the foul smelling assault of ripe s**t that pierces through your snot filled nostrils as you reach over to flush, hear water crashing and see a turd club swirl around a ceramic bowl into the all consuming hole of the toilet. Save the s**t and stink for the toilet in the comfort rooms. Also save it for that land mine of a stray dog s**t pile you may have to dodge for avoidance of stepping in it and taking an aroma with you that leaves a v***r trail of odor, musky and aromatic of pungent dog s**t while getting from your point A to B. Words have meanings. Each person has different meanings when they hear or read words. Bring more meaning to them by using them correctly and timely. This tiny difference maker will certainly make a huge difference in how you interpret the world, create action, treat others and communicate effectively. See how you can learn lessons from s**t? :)
