Any material possession demands its space, maintenance, and accommodation in your life and alters it to some degree or another .... the more you own, the more you are owned.... it is and it isn’t a problem to living your life depending on the contract you have made with your materialistic status sheet ...
Just like mental illness that is ever so gradual onset, so too, one can suddenly become too encumbered by their possessions .... or analogously, sort of having one kid too many and you realize you are no longer able to have a life to live because everything and more than everything available is consumed with no relief in sight (too many kids bankruptcy).
It never ceases to amaze me how a woman can repeatedly get pregnant and lacks the financial ability required for support, and the husband dutifully steps up to meet the new demands until ...... the last pregnancy resulted in a critically ill baby or child and the medical situation was so intense it causes divorce and then the husband fights alimony and tries to reduce child support to the minimum .... or the Mother runs off leaving the kids with their Dad .... or some other crisis occurs .... it all happened one kid at a time .... just like hoarding happens one possession at a time however you obtain it .... you have filled all of the available space and can not move to a larger home.... so then you give truckloads to Good Will or Salvation Army or have a chain of weekend yard sales .... but for some who are chronic hoarders..... they can not let go .... (The Monkey Trap)???? So many kids are not receiving their fair share of parental attention simply because of lack of family planning???? And the citizen tax payer is greater encumbered and the entire world to accommodate the exploding population ...
Just like the woman who can not make responsible family planning and not get pregnant without means to provide for the new addition, a person takes on more possessions than is sustainable ... The latter situation is more easily corrected than the first....
It is a problem if the problem is not self limiting whether it be hoarding or having one kid too many.... once your personal choices and actions require others’ intervention and subsidizing in some way for your oversight and self indulgence and gratifications then you have certainly crossed the line inexcusably... there should always be a margin of safety zone before you cross the line. Sometimes others can see you are in a danger zone when you can not. Listen to them.
Thank God for the birth control pill.... take it! Thank God for Good Will.... donate... reclaim space and time .... physically and mentally. Thank God there are persons wanting to adopt either babies, or pets, or other over accumulated collectibles in your life. Know when to shift to reverse.
