Rubbish about Rubbish
A rubbish bin is a place where you dump, throw, chuck, discard away things that you don't want anymore.
Things that smell, that may have started rotting, that is destroyed
Things that are not up to your standards (e.g. i threw some un-rotten but really sour kiwifruits into the rubbishbin this morning)
Things that has been past its useby date, even tho they may still be ok, but you don't trust it
Things that mistakenly get thrown into it e.g. pieces of receipts that you want but mistook for rubbish
Things that are useless
Things that you don't want to see anymore
Things that are of no use to anyone.
Ever wonder what happens to the rubbish after it gets thrown there?
It builds up into a big pile of rubbish.
What happens to the rubbish?
It gets taken away. Probably by the rubbish truck of some sort, then becomes recycled, compressed, degraded, burnt...
When we throw away our rubbish, do we ever consider - who deals with the recycling, the compressing, the degradation and the burning?
Some rubbish, like plastic bags, are burnt and they release toxic poison fumes.
Some rubbish, like the kiwifruit, are thrown away, but they shouldn't have - as they were still potentially edible and its a waste of resources.
Some rubbish stink. They stain clothes. The look disgusting. People who deal with the rubbish don't deserve to have to smell the putrid odour, to see the remains of some half-digested-regurgitated vomit that some drunken 16year old spilled out on a friday nite.
I wonder how those rubbish people deal with all the stinkiness, all the unwantedness around them.
Do they block it out? Ignore the obvious disgust ard them and get on with their jobs?
Do they feel good - that at least, someone is wanting them so they can give them what they don't want themselves? (like the beggar who's grateful for a piece of shit)
I wonder what they do with their own rubbish. Deal with it themselves? OR give to someone else to handle?
I'm sure we all have our own ways of handling our rubbish. Like mum for example, she collects all the remains of the fruit skin, cut veges, left over food etc and buries it in the garden to be recycled for the plants to use as nutritions.
And that's actually of NEED to the plants, unlike those rubbish people - they collect rubbish that has no use to them.
Well, that's not totally true, they do get paid for it.
My granddad, apparently, according to the church on the day of the funeral, wakes up at 3am in the morning everyday and walks around taipei, picking up rubbish every morning.
I also heard there's quite a lot of elderly volunteers who does rubbish collecting around the city.
V-O-L-U-N-T-A-R-Y
They would, out of their own alturistic kindness, help to clean up the city and collect other people's remains.
And even then, they still pass it on to the rubbish collectors to deal with, in the end.
It would suck to be an unpaid rubbish collector
I think, rubbish, alone, is not something that should be shared on a regular basis.
I think its ok to share the rubbish if, e.g. after having a party, where something happy and good has happened, and rubbish is just part of the process.
It would really suck to be an unpaid alturistic people who deals with the rubbish.
But then again its not like i have experience in that job, is it?
