Someone else did come up with a knife for a answer though. It kind of shows the polarity of survival, one to separate liquids and one to separate solids.

Then a kettle would be both solids and liquids, and we use a bowl to separate. A good analogy can be made here from cosmic soup to Earth.

Question "accept and use" ?

So are you saying that all people in the middle east have been offerred toilet paper, but refuses to "accept and use it"?.

Maybe some fundamentalist would refuse out of principle of not having anything to do with an infidel, even one who comes bearing gifts of free toilet paper.

My guess, is that many 3rd world peoples do not have easy access to toilet paper. Maybe I misunderstood what "accept and use" means.

No your answer is broad in use, but as you said 1 person might not. I even debate about a knife, but hasn't everyone cut something? Even if its butter, or a veggie?

No matter how big or small the seperation it is not whole.

The way around the problem is to accept that yes, 'we are all connected' and no, 'we cannot make anyone else agree with the view.'
In this, we accept that 'others' may choose to never in their life see all is connected but that in their doing so does not signify then that this is your failure.

This search has gone on for thousands of years and in every way possible. The idea of wholeness is not new, but putting the ideals before yourself is what leaves your mark on that path in a new form.

Why assume that this particular physical reality we are all experiencing is meant to be for that purpose?
Ideally it would be great but practically speaking it is not likely possible. Perhaps if we were more a hive minded species we might be better equipped to be this thing, but we are not.

Your comment ...""what is something that EVERYONE would accept and use".....was broad in use also. I replied in kind with a specific item.

You are right, and since then when I post it I have changed the wording to an object anyone would accept and use. Meaning man-made or usable by man as a tool.

Sorry for any confusion in my wording!

OMG!! Not sure how I had missed this post and SOOO sorry for doing so!! Very interesting symbol placement.

3 positives and 1 neutral....
----
*4 sides, square, 1 is different but why? Consciousness maybe, or point of view?

*2 pos in polar relation to 1 pos. Maybe a way to remove negative? 1 pos on neutral makes 1 negative. So if negative joins with positive, giving its body to that side it makes it neutral. So now 2 pos are on a neutral, making its polar relation another positive.

Right, toilet paper is man-made.

Here in the states, I learned how to use large leaves---- mullen when I could find it ---when I worked with a old timer tennant farmer who had never lived out of the county his whole life.

He used his hand sometimes but I could barely bring myself to do ever do that. I was 18 at time, and now when I look back, why didnt we take toliet paper with us when were out in the back 40 installing fencing etc..?

Even then tho, you can lose it or it gets wet or whatever.

Wheres a bedouin in the desert going to find a large leaf?

Ok guys were going to air drop parachutes of toliet paper to the bedouins today.

I don't see it as my failure, but a theory to create a wholeness or equality will fail if 1 person is left out. Not just on my own.

We are not, but it does present itself. When people are in search of a wholeness idea, they will need guidance for it.

It was a good guess! Like I said I wish we could.

Muslims often prefer to perform istinja, or cleaning with water, instead of toilet paper. Some use toilet paper to dry off after cleaning with water.
