do you know what a fart honestly is? Well here at Capernwray we ponder that same question daily. There is a PLETHORA of human beings who don't truly take into consideration what is being dispersed into the air on the arrival of a flatulence, one of those humans would be me. I carelessly and quite frequently come to the point of "letting one go". It is a natural and quite relieving occasion. On every occasion I become more and more happy but never do I truly think about what I am actually doing to my fellow humans and most importantly to the environment. So back to my original question.......what is a fart? Well....
Fart - a release of built up air from within the bowels of the human body; a dispersal of very tiny particles, which result is what we call poo(the tiny particles in their largest form). We never think about this definition when we think of "fart"(the universal/informal word for flatulence). Our immediate response is usually just one full of laughter and embarrassment, for some people, when it should be of disgust and revolt.
But as I have learned from my experience both personally and from being involved with it by my friends and family I have come to quite appreciate with event. It is in some ways "gross" but altogether very relieving and satisfying. So keep on keeping on, but remember what you are releasing next time you "let one go".
