On Dumpster Diving By Lars Eighner

In the text “On Dumpster Diving”, by Lars Eighner is about a man who speaks of being a homeless man joined by his pet, named Lizbeth. Not exclusively does he clarify his procedures living out of dumpsters, yet in addition the lessons he has learned as a scavenger. Above all I think the genuine message he was attempting to get cross over is that we waste more than we think we do, and it's in our nature as humans. He had built up a great deal of involvement in recognizing on what was protected to eat and what wasn't. He specified eating from a dumpster is the thing that isolates the dilettanti from the experts. Eighner passed by three standards, presence of mind, knowing the Dumpsters and checking them consistently, and looking for dependably

The understudies additionally disposed of medications, erotic entertainment and spirits. Eighner says that people throw away perfectly good stuff. Its majority contains much value, however he just gathers things that he can utilize quickly. Eighner writing style says a lot about his lifestyle, it shows that when he first started he did not realize that we as people throw away a lot of good things that can be fixed or that we waste a lot of food when their are others that need it more. He believes that whatever he finds has more value than it does to someone else.

Which makes me think, is that the true goal of buying items for others. Hoping that they will hold some sort of value for them.Or is it knowing that they love certain things, and buying those things for them is the point because they already have value. Although It’s not so much about “grabbing for the gaudy babble” as it is grabbing for something that has personal value to you. And personal value all depends on your memories, and the moments the object's attribute toward you, that make them worth something. Personal value will be different for everyone, but ultimately it is the most important, because it defines attention and sight as well as our lives in general. Dumpster diving is not necessarily about digging through trash, it is about finding something out there in the world that could possibly have meaning to you, and thereby cherishing
