Your Shit Stinks.

One day you will die. It’s inevitable. We all die one day. On that day, and thereafter, you will be judged in the Heavens by your God, if you believe in that, as well as here on Earth by your friends, family, and peers. You will leave a legacy.

Some may remember you as a family-person — someone who always put family first. Others may remember you as a businessperson — someone who always put business first. Some may remember you for the failure that you are, or were. Others may remember you for the success you are, or were. Still others may remember you as the jackass who stole their girlfriend or boyfriend, or the asshole who backed into their new car, or the deadbeat who still owes them $500.

All sorts of people may/will have all sorts of things to say about you AFTER you die, but I can assure you there is one thing NO ONE will ever say:

NO ONE will ever say, “Hey, well at least his/her SHIT didn’t stink.”

Nope. No one will EVER say that because never before in the history of the world has anyone ever said that about anyone, and it’s not going to start with YOU. So get over yourself.

Stop acting like your shit don’t stink.
Because it does.
And to everyone else it smells horrid.
In fact, your shit smells so bad, it makes Right Guard turn Left.
Your shit smells so bad…
[Enter myriad shit-smell jokes here.]

Sometimes we like to think of ourselves as being better than other people. Truth is, we’re not. You don’t need me to tell you that, but sometimes it’s good to be reminded of it.

Just because you have a better set of circumstances than someone else, does not make you better. Just because you endured more than the next person, or accomplished more than the next person, or whatever, it doesn’t make you any better…

Your shit still stinks.
Stop acting like it doesn’t.

That’s all.
