Ahh yes I can relate... It's not uncommen and I could be because we were taught to value material things a lot more than we needed. On the other hand I'm not a fan of just throwing things out either but maybe you can find a purpose for them by giving them away or donating them to charity?

Yes, exactly. I usually donate things I no longer need. But I have to keep working on changing the definition of what I "need." Ha ha.
Many people have the habit of selling things they no longer use but this is not the best .
Do we refer to that as a skill? I think some people just want to keep their stuff because they were never brought up that way, of trying to dispose of things they don't want any more. Some people just love to sell off or gift it away.
Until.i see the need to five an item I may not want to use again, it stays with me.
Looking at it in the other angle we cannot call it a skill because many people have the mind of keeping things or train them away.
To me, I don't like selling my stuffs. The best iasnto give them out instead of selling them.
I think somehow, we can still manage to refer that as a skill, but the one which is not yielding income.
I rather give them out to those I feel would need it.
Yes, exactly. I have friends who are very good at it, and when I go to their homes, it feels very serene. I love that feeling, but lack the skill to do what they do!
Bingo! You hit the nail on the head! Something in, something out is my rule!
Oh, no!!! How can you say not to that? That is why we have so much stuff and I use that term loosely. :))
Yes...you at right. People are there who always receive lecture on how to keep things instead off throwing them out.
I admired your analogy. The way you are analysed it is just too perfect
The best is to donate them to orphanage home to to the less privilege. This is what I think should be the best.
No matter what, those things you are willing to throw away may have some tangible uses later. So, the best is to keep them safe until they are useful. I'm also a fan of keeping things in other instead of throwing them away when I know they may have some use later.
At some point, you may just have wasted what you ought to have given out. Some could be clothes, shoes, books and so on. There is always someone around you who may need it.
This is exactly the perspective I have taken. If its no use to me, I remind myself that it could be of use to someone else.
It is not even good to waste your property instead give them out to those who need them most.
You arr nit using it does not mean someone should not use it. You are right
You summed it up pretty well!
Hahahahahaha Nine wellll for now I am not actively searching up for it but I should be on the lookout.
We have a Neighborhood House in my town. Anything you don't need, you can pack in a box and drop it off at the Neighborhood House. Volunteers go through it and organize it. Sometimes, you can see people walk up to the porch and collect stuff that's been left. It's much easier to let go of stuff when you see that. Sometimes I give away stuff now that I might have use for because I know it's better to see someone walk off with my almost new pair of shoes than to have that pair sit in a closet.
Neighborhood House is one of the best antidotes to hoarding:)
Wonderful. I love donating in ways that benefit others!
This will give room to those who need them to consult the neighbor's house. It is a best method to keep those things away from the house.
You are right. I just wish that there is a place of such right here in my country were one can drop used things which may still.be useful to people.
I think the person who built that place should receive kudos.
They are wonderful.
All volunteers.
That is brilliant, @nineclaws. It's a win-win for everyone. Can I stop by with several closets full of stuff? Ha ha.
That is a wonderful idea!
We have something similar in our community but, they put it in the community bulletin, which is sent electronically every Friday. Or people put it our curbside with a sign if it is big. Take me! :)
:) Me too! I have found some of the coolest things!
It is even ungodly to waist your properties when somebody is out there to make good use of them. So the best is to keep them and give them out or keep them for later use.
Yep. There is joy in the heart of the giver and the receiver. To act of giving is a good skill that can help our society grow.
This is why we have to give whatever we are not using any longer
Could that act be referred to as a skill. I think giving is an act not a skill.
For me, useless stuff is just garbage! I don’t keep old things.
The definition of useful vs. useless is the tough part. Is a picture frame that doesn't currently have a picture in it useful or useless? What about supplies for a hobby I only do from time to time, like candle making? Then there's the box of charging cables that will possibly be needed at some point, and the little portable tripod for the camera I only use when I travel. And books I haven't read yet, sudoku magazines I haven't yet used... etc. etc. etc. These are the things that trouble me.
What do you think do to them? Do you burn them or dispose of them?
Some things I give away and some just throw away.
Not keeping them is not the best. We all know that useless things our garbage, but keeping them or giving out those useless things to people that need them may go a long way.
