Poverty follows garbage, and garbage cannot be separated from poverty. It makes sense to think about it. Look at many poor families. It's all dirty, smelly and messy. Because there is garbage and poor sanitation, there must be patients at home-poverty and garbage, and patients are always linked to health problems.
But then again, some people may say, "Our family is so rich and there is rubbish at the door! There is not only a bag of garbage in front of our house, but also a garbage mountain. What is the reason? Taiwan Province Province is so rich, why does the garbage problem still exist? In my opinion, it is rubbish from the heart! If you can get rid of the garbage in your heart, the garbage outside can be reduced.
Because we all have desires in our hearts-the desire to enjoy. Seeing that other people's homes are so richly decorated, I really don't care about new clothes. To redecorate, you have to knock and knock, and some of the things knocked down are rubbish. Where are these rubbish going? Dump!
In addition to dressing, the popular styles are different every year, and the popular styles next year will be advertised this year; When I want to buy new clothes, there are still many clothes in the closet! What shall we do? Of course, old clothes must be eliminated before there is room for new clothes!
These clothes to be eliminated are still beautiful, but in pursuit of fashion, these clothes have certainly become rubbish. Gongde will often receive some beautiful clothes that are not suitable for caregivers. These clothes that can't play a nursing role are rubbish!
Therefore, in order to pursue new desires, many old things become rubbish after being eliminated. This is the main reason, and it is also due to people's greed and pursuit of enjoyment.
Another factor that causes the spread of garbage is laziness.
Someone once told me, "When I heard Master's call for environmental protection, I decided to do garbage sorting near my home, but I had to do it every time, either too much trouble or too dirty. So, the first two times, she couldn't get started. Until the third time, she thought, "Master said that everyone loves themselves too much to give full play to the functions and benefits of their hands, but if their hands don't work, they are just like waste ..."
So she wrinkled her nose, gritted her teeth, bent down and held out her hand, and finished the first garbage sorting. I broke through the psychological barrier for the first time, and then all the obstacles disappeared. Since then, she has done it with ease and is very happy-in fact, while sorting garbage, we are also cleaning up our inner filth.
Tzu Chi's appeal for garbage sorting is mainly to arouse people's concept of "cherishing blessings", stimulate people's "conscience" and purify people's desires.
I hope you don't care too much about your hands and do a good job in garbage sorting, so that you can fully recycle resources and reduce the amount of garbage. Also, we should advocate bringing our own shopping bags. I remember that a few decades ago, housewives went to the market to buy food, all carrying food baskets. There is no such thing as a plastic bag. Now, if we can all return to the life of shopping with our bags, I believe the amount of garbage will be reduced a lot.
Not only that, everyone should cherish their own blessings and continue to do their best. This is also love! Love is not only between people, but also between people and things. A thing that has been used for a long time shows that it has a long life, so we should give full play to love and recycle resources; If every family can do this, there will be no more garbage problems in society.
