my thumb-sized poop phenomenology
the other day, i had my annual medical and physical exam. unable to submit a poop sample, i asked for a vial from the laboratory where i can place my poop the next time i’ll submit it.
when the medical technician handed the vial to me, she reminded me not to fill up the whole vial (about 150ml) and just place a thumb-sized poop — that’s all the poop they needed. we both laughed then i left.
the poop and the vial somehow depict our lives: we just love filling up our lives with hodgepodge of everything, unconsciously finding bliss when in fact we only need a thumb-size of it — the rest is purely shit. hehe!
sometimes transitory scenes like this that we sometimes find baloney are worth pondering on…
