L59-1: Collecting
People tend to
amass possessions, sometimes without being aware of doing so. Indeed they can
have a delightful surprise when they find something useful which they did not
know they owned. Those who never have to move house become indiscriminate
collectors of what can only be described as clutter. They leave unwanted
objects in drawers, cupboards and attics for years, in the belief that they may
one day need just those very things. As they grow old, people also accumulate
belongings for two other reasons, lack of physical and mental energy, both of
which are essential in turning out and throwing away, and sentiment. Things
owned for a long time are full of associations with the past, perhaps with
relatives who are dead, and so they gradually acquire a value beyond their true
worth.
