POTENTIAL AND KINETIC DIRT?

++ Can dirt ever be created or destroyed?
..
it accumulates. we 'clean' it up and toss whatever we used to 'clean' it up into the trash. so what does it mean really to 'clean' something? is it not really removing what is there and then applying a non-native replacement? think about it. we are merely moving dirt from one location to another. what does it mean to clean? isn't dirt really just another frame of reference which plays from our mind? what is clean to me isn't clean to you. if i were to buy a pair of new shoes and take them out of the box and then put them on my feet, would you consider those shoes squeeky clean and new? you might not even want to walk outside and instead wear them only indoors on carpet because you don't want to dirty up your shoes. now take those squeeky clean new shoes which are on your feet and sit down at the dinner table and prop your feet up on the table. chances are if you were at yoru grandparent's home or your parent's home or even better yet at any formal event, someone would scold you or yell at you and tell you to take your dirty shoes off the table. so what exactly does it mean to be clean? is everything clean and we just don't know it? maybe to be clean and dirty are the same thing. its only potential dirt or 'kinetic' dirt depending on your surroundings, the crowd present, and the situation. ++
