We’re all just borrowing recycled particles for a little while, before making them available for others, in future. Just that man started messing with that traditional equation when he came up with burials, and later coffins.

Not just that, but our living bodies are composed of something like ~50% bacteria and other organisms, and with mites living in our pores, eyelashes, etc. Fun stuff to think about, eh? :D

Wish I could just tap out and pass control over to them for a while, sometimes. “Here, you guys have fun, I’ll see you in 8 hours.”

  Fun concept. Related to that, I understand that our gut bacteria have some actual influence on how our brains operate.

    Well it’s all ‘shit’ from the moment we start eating, if that’s how you measure it.
