what a terribe thing to waste.
When thinking about the word 'waste' the one thing that stands out in my mind is the idea of a body wasting away. Seeing a close friend or family member having their body change from healthy to complete skin and bones. Having family deal with sicknesses that cause them to lose an excess amount of weight and having them look completely different from what i was used to was really difficult to deal with. I also have dealt with a friend who was anorexic, and seeing her waste away to almost nothing was horrible to watch, i would see her buy a lunch and sit there and nibble only on the carrots and celery of her small salad. It also hurt to know that the food was going to waste and knowing she was aware of what she was doing and was okay with seeing her body just waste away to nothing.

I think it was really brave of you to give this example of your view on waste. It's a very emotional post and it helped me broaden my view of wastefulness. I agree it is sad to see people to do this to themselves and that they know about it. I hope she was able to get better.
ReplyDeleteYou really opened up to your readers, posting something as personal and sensitive as this is hard to do.I never thought of wastefulness in this way, and though sad, this was a great example. It's a horrible thing to witness someone close to you do something of this nature. I wish for the best for your friend.
