High Standards
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
We (the family) are going to get rid of some of our chairs. They are
|
|
comfortable, and I'm sitting in one as I write this. Why? 'Cause it's a
|
|
little torn on the seat, and looks slightly dirty. I tried telling my mom
|
|
that they are perfectly good chairs. Here's the reason she gave me:
|
|
|
|
"In society, there are some... understood standards. When people come in,
|
|
in nice clothing, they look at the chairs and they can't tell whether they
|
|
are clean or not."
|
|
|
|
First off, I don't care to associate with people who don't like me because
|
|
of the way my furniture looks. They don't like it - they can buy me new
|
|
furniture. But, my parents aren't like that. And I understand, that to
|
|
have "nice" company, you have to have a good looking house. The problem
|
|
is, today, nice is associated with snob. To me at least.
|
|
|
|
Second of all, some people can't even affords chairs. They have to save up
|
|
money for food. Sometimes they don't have enough money even for that.
|
|
Sometimes they go for days without food. And we're gonna throw away
|
|
perfectly comfortable chairs. Why not donate it to Goodwill? Mom says they
|
|
won't accept it. I think she means that they are too crappy. Excuse me?
|
|
Goodwill should be one of the last to be picky. I've seen old toys in
|
|
there, they are just one piece of plastic. The rest of the pieces are
|
|
probably in the other shelf, or in a dumpster or in a closet somewhere.
|
|
And they won't take our chairs. Well, fuck them.
|
|
|
|
Humans are so wasteful, especially those who can afford to be. I remember,
|
|
Isaac Asimov (a great writer, one of my favorites) wrote a story. I forget
|
|
the title, but in it, people got rid of things. A dishwasher they had for
|
|
two months was thrown out. TV's were constantly being replaced. To speed
|
|
up the process of throwing away cars, bumps were installed in the road,
|
|
that forced people to accelerate in the right lanes up to the necessary
|
|
speed. Resources were being wasted like there was no tomorrow. If I were
|
|
born in that world, I'd go out, collect all the stuff, polish it and sell
|
|
it. People would throw it back out again, I'd get it, etc. I'd be a
|
|
millionaire. I'd be thought of as a freak and weirdo, but that's nothing
|
|
new.
|
|
|
|
Next time, before you toss something in the trash can, think: can it be
|
|
recycled? Can it be sold, or donated to someone who needs it even though I
|
|
don't? Can it be reused for something in my own household? You can make
|
|
safety goggles out of 2 liter bottles. Cans can be recycled. Furniture and
|
|
clothing can be given to goodwill, or the family down the street. If you
|
|
think hard enough, you'll find something to do with it, other than lie at
|
|
the dump, waiting to dissolve among other waste.
|
|
|
|
Think about it.
