After reading "This I Believe About Stuff", I came to realize a few things. So many of us have so much extra things we do not even use. To us, certain things are just junk. But for others, it could be a treasure. We do not realize how thankful we should be for the things we have until we see how other people can live. If we have excess amounts of stuff, we should really consider giving it to those in need. The world has two types of people: the people who have everything, and the people who have nothing. You never know what type of "junk" could be another person's treasure.
I agree with everything about this article. We should think about the things we need over what we want. It is amazing realizing how much excess stuff we have when some people hardly have anything at all. You feel so great as a person, knowing you made someone's life just a little better. Giving your "junk" away could actually change someone's life. We, as a society need to be more thankful for the things we have. We take so much for granted in today's world. It is the little things that can make such a difference. If we all gave away our "junk" I truly believe poverty would not be such an issue anymore. It is mind blowing knowing we could put an end to a lot of poverty by giving away stuff we do not even need.
