S**t Shoveling

I used to think that if you never had to shovel shit, you ended up lacking empathy for those who shovel shit.

My POV has been updated: it’s worse than that.

If you’ve never had to shovel shit, not only do you lack empathy for those who do, but you also tend to *create* more shit for others to shovel.

It helps to have shoveled shit at some point in your life. And maybe it’s never too late to pick up a shovel.
