How do you determine if you value something or if it can be abandoned or discarded?

Well, they say if you haven't used something in a year then it's "safe" to get rid of it. Look through your closet--have you worn that college tshirt lately? No?

Time to Goodwill it! Those VHS tapes--you don't even have a player for them anymore--even if it's your favorite movie--get rid of them! There is a show that used to be on with a guy who helped people get rid of stuff.

He helped them to realize that even if dead Aunt Sarah gave you this lovely ceramic angel with golden wings--to get rid of it doesn't mean you love Aunt Sarah any less. You love her with or without the angel, and if you don't like and just keep it in a box in the attic--get rid of it to someone who might like it and will display it in their home. It's hard, as we connect memories with some of our belongings.

I value them, but recognize that I am not able to appreciate them when I keep them stored away. No need to really through something "good" away, though--donate it or list on Craig's list or Ebay.

Ask that of a hoarder and they'll say everything has value, making it impossible for them to discard or give away even the most worthless and broken items.

As I said, a hoarder thinks everything has value, they can not determine the difference between junk and valuable items. They are literally incapable of making that determination.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
