The image of waste fills my mind with mountains of garbage. Just an overwhelming mass of people's trash. Broken computer screens, unwanted toys, rotting food, clothing never worn, shoes missing there match, and just an excess amount of matter. A matter that could have been saved and recycled, but instead was destroyed and made unusable.
Greed and Waste are close in character. Greed in my mind is matter wasted. The foundation of greed comes from waste. We are too greedy to share so we dispose of whatever we can't handle. It is a person that sits there- on their mountain- and they create more, they hoard more things, and eventually it is all wasted.
These two cohorts further the cycle of taking, never giving back, destroying community, simpleness, and just causing destruction.

I thought of the same thing for waste, just piles of junk that could have been used for something else. I love the description you put into this. oo the cycle is really nice at the end. I never connected that to the whole thing. It really is just a continuing cycle that never ends.
ReplyDeleteI like the way this is written. I can see a landfill and I like the point you make about recycling.
ReplyDeleteI also liked that you compared waste and greed. It shows that you thought seriously about the topic.
For some reason, I dunno why, I really like the line, "Greed in my mind is matter wasted"
Also, as a side note, I love your picture at the top of your page!
What you wrote kind of reminded me of Chris Carroll's "High-Tech Trash." I got the same image in my head from what you wrote and reading his article. Just piles of junk and pieces of computers and random stuff in a pile. Definitely trash.
ReplyDeletewell after reading this i feel the need to recycle, lol. i like your connection between wasted and greed instead of just picking one. your last sentence is alittle nugget that definitely makes the audience think about the way they live. nice.
ReplyDeleteI really liked the imagery in this post. You give a really good example in the beginning and let the reader paint their own picture in their mind of the horrible waste you're describing. The flow of this post is also really clear and illustrates your chain of ideas well.
