Every thing that exists permanently affects the universe in some way. So do the things that make what we call 'you'. And when the factor that separates you from manure is gone, the effect that that manure had while it was you remains, no matter how small it is. Any rock or tree can replicate the effect of your life on planet Earth. But only you can have the effect you did on the human community.
