Group 6: How does Eightner make you feel about your own material values? How do you relate to Dumpster Diving and to what he calls the "grab for the gaudy bauble" (pg 79)
Because Eightner doesn't have any materials, in a way it makes me feel guilty for having some many. He values the little things in life, the things that people throw away because they are "worthless." He makes me think about what material things I value and what they actually mean to me. Why do I keep them? Do they hold a memory or do I just like having it around? He states that his grab for the 'gaudy bauble' has been sated; meaning that he no longer desires to collect those valuable but meaningless objects because he knows that there are plenty more places that he can get those from.
Our answers with group 7 are that we both had to rethink about our material possessions and how we feel about them. We both think that we have way to many possessions that are mostly invaluable. It makes us think about what we throw out, what people with think about them once they are in the trash and why we keep them around or throw it out.
