L59-1: Collecting

People tend toamass possessions, sometimes without being aware of doing so. Indeed they can havea delightful surprise when they find something useful which they did not knowthey owned. Those who never have to move house become indiscriminate collectorsof what can only be described as clutter. They leave unwanted objects indrawers, cupboards and attics for years, in the belief that they may one dayneed just those very things. As they grow old, people also accumulatebelongings for two other reasons, lack of physical and mental energy, both ofwhich are essential in turning out and throwing away, and sentiment. Thingsowned for a long time are full of associations with the past, perhaps withrelatives who are dead, and so they gradually acquire a value beyond their trueworth.
