What We Need

I woke up early today, 4 am I was being troubled by a work situation. This sort of disturbance I don't need. What I needed was some more rest, I think we all need more rest, I think we need to sit down and think about what we really need. What happened to all the stuff that was transported in all those containers? I know I keep coming back to those containers, The fact that they are piling up really bothers me. I heard that an oil tanker and a container ship collided recently. Think about that!
Thousands of tons of stuff whatever was in those containers, TVs motor bikes, bed springs, cheap plastic toys for the dollar store, cheap tools for the Princess Auto stores, Perhaps, but does it matter? maybe it was Vitamin C and all sorts of other vitamins, cold remedies destined for the pharmacies of the world. The other ship was an oil tanker The source of cheap energy, for the moment. The irony that cheap stuff(an assumption on my part) should crash into cheap energy on the water is a rather sad irony really. How much of this do we really need? There is an order of commerce that is a fairly recent, the last 20 years or so that deals with the storage of stuff, you have seen them chain linked yards with neat rows of row garages, places for "ordinary" folk to store their stuff, and there are waiting lists for some of these places. I have one that has some of our furniture and other things(stuff) in it. The longer it sits there the more I wonder how much do I really need that stuff? I will have to ponder that one a while longer yet.
