Rubbish

"People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain." Jim Morrison

Rubbish is defined as unwanted waste. There are basically two kinds of rubbish: tangible and intangible. The amount of tangible rubbish keeps rising and contaminating the world. Even with the introduction of 4R (Refuse, Reduce, Reuse and Recycle), the situation stays the same, if not worsening. However, tangible waste can at least be managed, because it is measurable. Alert system can be developed to control the amount of tangible waste being produced every day.

People taking an "easy come, easy go" attitude always live a "throwaway" lifestyle. They don't cherish the things they have, and they don't have to. Everything is dispensible at any time at will or whim. It is an interesting fact that most tangible rubbish is produced by the developed countries, which accounts for only 5% of the world's population. The so-called better educated people living in the developed countries are the murderers of the world, but they are not sentenced to death.

Intangible waste is bullshit, or nonsense. Nobody can touch it, but everybody can feel it. Bullshit is basically created 24x7. As long as the deliverable has no value and thus irrelevant, that's bullshit! Its impact could be even more devastating than that of tangible. Nonsense isn't measurable, and is beyond everyone's control.

"I love you" is the most frequently used bullshit. Words really mean nothing. Action speaks louder than words. Everything people say is bullshit if it does not come with action. Putting words into actions is the true test of a person's character. Regrettably, people are becoming more and more irresponsible for everything said, and keep creating negative people experience.
