how much of what is in those containers on the mired ship hold things the farmer might need ( need here as opposed to desire, engineered or otherwise...what would they contain that is critical to his continued existence )...
that is a question i cannot answer...the farmer might...if he had a detailed inventory of what is in those steel boxes...i don't...nor does he...so it is unlikely we would ever be able to find out...however it does bring to mind another question and that is how much of what i have do i need...what is there that would be critical to my continued physical and mental wellbeing in the material goods i possess? and, as a corollary to that, how much of what i have do i actualy use? so i have decided to take an exhaustive inventory of the physical articles in my room...just the room where i spend time in when i am home...not the whole damned house...and attempt to come up with a percentage of what is heere that is actually used...this promises not to be all that short term a project...one bookshelf ( there are three ) has 105 books, a stack of vinyl lps...some cds and dvds...and all the assorted stuff that gets stacked in front of them and sidewways on top of them...the three file boxes are going to be a chore...the desk drawers...the elegant wooden boxes my son has made for me ( not to mention the framed art and ceramics ) and the stuff on the floor...it may end up being a more organized room...or a collyer brothers shambles...the results will not be overnight in any case...they may prove enlightening...for me anyway.
