Why You Can’t Force Your Mind to Change (The Toilet Philosophy) (Level 1)

Great art and books rarely talk about using the toilet. But every day, people must do it. This simple action shows a strange problem. Our mind tells our body what to do, but the body does not always obey. Normally, the hand moves when we want it to. But on the toilet, we have to wait and relax. Sometimes, trying too hard makes things stop. We push a little, then think about something else. Finally, the mind and body work together. This teaches us something important. We cannot force ourselves to sleep, to be happy, or to be creative. We must be patient and cooperate with our body. The toilet is a place where we learn to be a partner, not a boss, to ourselves.
