…or: NO ONE CAN DO, FOOL, IDIOT, DOWNWARD MOTION with OPIUM
Per pundits, the Sun sinking into soil, the Earth, the ground at sunset, meaning to「sink out of sight, disappear, hidden, cease to exist downward」into soil: a GRAVE, TOMB, the sunset of human life…or any other life. Despite intense efforts of god-huckstering to the contrary in order to recruit adherents to acquire their cash and/or temporary use of their orifices, perhaps the Chinese sages were flatly stating that only an idiot believes he or she will never die:「controlled by another, subdued and having a reason to do something, pretending, a pretext, excuse given to hide the true reason for something with soil, ground, earth」describes religious teachings of saving a person's body in a grave so that it may be resurrected and receive eternal life…but it that were true, why need a physical, dead rotting carcass or skeletal bones at all?「idiot in the ground.」
「Self-fellating with feces」as COPROPHAGIA suggests that coprophilous ingestion of fecal material can, and sometimes does, get out of hand. Colonization of the upper gastrointestinal tract by E. coli bacterial strains carries the risk often of a FATAL CONDITION due to peritonitis, septicemia, meningitis, gastroenteritis, and is not merely a cause of chronic halitosis and brown staining that appears between the teeth. Perhaps the source of the English epithet,「eat shit and die」(some sources tag on「mo'-fo'」to this epithet). A few have suggested that among humans, coprophagia is symptomatic of mental illness (瘼), although it's OK for flies. Moreover, opium and its derivatives, natural or synthesized, ought to be avoided for recreational use.

Always keep in mind that these glyphs most likely were originally designed by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that), representing Chinese society many thousands of years ago, but intended NOT as a written or spoken language when created. If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system! Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is, and often with multiple correct answers to each riddle, the same as is true today. Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? But, have there been necessary rewrites and altered explanations of the original elemental meanings over the centuries?

No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else. This site describes glyph meanings, not people. These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect. The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language? (More...) Despite how seemingly bad our human existence is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or could they have been worse?

By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs, you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any lexicon. This site explains multiple meanings of glyphs ignored or censored by other sources, generally as being too embarrassing to admit today.
