Is anyone very surprised?
And the take home lesson is? Be wary of those with clean hands? Trust auto mechanics?

I'm not surprised at all.

I often feel much more positive after letting water run through my hands and from washing my face with just water.

I camped along the Delaware River and each morning and night I'd rinse my face off in the river. It felt beautiful.

I am very surprised, one would think that being utterly filthy would lead one to feel as if they were holy and pure...

Hmm...wouldn't this have strong connections with Jewish ritual purity? Might all those actions having to do with purity and cleansing even have been a stimulus to follow God and walk in His ways?

That was my thought when I first read it in terms of Jewish Ritual purification.

No, ritual-like cleansing of conscience. ;)
