Post #6: Hunting and Gathering

There are two ways that stuff accumulates: actively and passively. Active accumulators are collectors, purchasers, people who like to shop and buy and own and amass. Passive accumulators are worried about getting rid of something they might need one day, so they keep it all - just in case. The problem is that the build-up of stuff is its own problem, a problem that is guaranteed. I'd rather regret getting rid of something than to have to live with a dust collector for my whole life.
