    I can see hoardery traits in myself, so I’ve been working on decluttering and not letting it turn into a problem. I’ll never be a minimalist but it’s nice to have space in the house.

      I remember clearing out my great aunt’s place way back as a kid. She went through the great depression and hoarded everything imaginable. That was eye opening.

      I think humans have innate tendencies to own objects, we use tools, we need clothes, we cook and we store food. It’s biology and culture.

      But it’s just been to easy to buy things and that’s why we have too much stuff.

      It’s like food, we love sweet and creamy, it’s biology, so in a land of milk and honey it’s too easy to put on weight.

      Like you said, we have to be aware. 👍
