why do we hoard? - Page 2

We hoard because even if we evolved from the animal kingdom to an intelligent being we have retained some of the basic insticts of our animal ancestors. So we eat like pigs, sleep like bears, drink like fish, make love like rabbits, copy like cats, growl like dogs and hoard like squirrels.

My mum doesnt hoard ....she actually gives a lot of stuff away..but still my house is jam packed...
always buying to replace old stuff that have been giving
sometimes I dont know what she has given away and what stays in house...

my dad and I hoard books pens watches......

I have hoarded 57 books that preach non-possession (aparigraha).

😆😆

Dunno why people do that. Dunno why I hoard bubble wraps either 😳

One should hoard good memories (limited articles related), moments of laughter, dreams and even pains one learnt a lesson from.
How does the other stuff matter?

Maybe we evolved from squirrels and not monkeys...

Kill Darwin!! 😉

What are bubble wraps?
Thats really significant how do other things become part of stuff kept over years and years.

Oh thats so funny and apt too 😆 😆

[quote=Maya_M] It is because through those items we voyage down memory lane. I have lots of boxes in my attic that are yet to be unpacked. Most probably the next time I get a sight of the stuff inside those boxes is when I plan to move[/quote]

Thats true and it keeps luring us into hoarding stuff to gather dust 😊 The funny thing is we keep moving on with the stuff packed nicely from one to another 😆

Yes welcome to hoarders club 😳 😆 Oh I think those things have lot of emotional value and that only increases with passage of time. Is there a way out? 🤔

Never mind space constraints sometimes help in such situations 😳 😆
