Food plays an important part in people lives ... - Dhamma by Ajahn Jayasāro
Food plays an important part in peoples lives. Apart from nutrition it also provides much pleasure. Some people even take photos of the food in front of them and post them on social media. However, as far as I know, nobody takes photos of their excrement in the toilet bowl, or invites other people to look at them. But beautiful, delicious food and ugly, bad-smelling excrement are not too completely different things. One becomes the other through contact with the human body. All things that come into contact with this body become soiled by it. Clean and fresh-smelling clothes and bedding are other examples. Try to observe and learn from everyday experience. The more rounded and comprehensive our view of the body, the less likely we are to become foolishly attached to it.
