You can shit wherever you want, but you’re too worried about step 2. Stop worrying!
I saw a property once where the septic tank turned out to be an old school bus the owner had buried
have no problems
This can be great or terrible advice depending on the audience
I like the attitude of
If you have a problem and you can do something about it, then why worry about it?
If you have a problem you can’t do anything about it, then why worry about it?
Less short and sweet, but more punch to the point. I like it!
I was told that if you have a problem Vanilla Ice will solve it.

Buddhist philosophy. No attachments, no problems.
Some problems make themselves your problem whether you care or not.
I used to think that till I met absolute Chad of a man with failing kidney and he would laugh at the situation refuse to be treated, he was like I’m 47 I lived a happy life and I’ll die if ill die but I’m not being bound to a bed, refused multiple dialysis interventions from his family and was clearly getting in pain towards the end, finally sold his very few possessions, gave some money to his youngest sister that struggled financially and took some drugs and died on a beach alone. (he had already gave up one kidney to save a sibling).
That man clearly didn’t care much about, he didn’t care about his family getting hurt because of his illness and death, he didn’t care about pain to his body, he didn’t care about death, and honestly I saw him 3-4 days before his death, he was still laughing like he was at peace and played a few games of uno with me.
I contend a functional definition of privilege is the number of problems you can ignore. By this metric anon is likely privileged.
