What is Dirt?

Dirt is what gets in the way of the full flourishing of living beings.

Dirty water is not good to drink. Dirty food is not good to eat.

We can also talk of dirty actions. Dirty deeds are not wholesome. They cause harm.

Those who support dirty deeds have some of that dirt rub off on them. They themselves become unclean.

The products of dirty deeds are themselves dirty. If we take the dirty produce then we are dirtying ourselves.

Cleanliness

Heathens strive for cleanliness - for taking in what is clean - unsullied by contaminants - physical or moral. That way they support their own good health and the good health of the world around them.
