I've given up the search for the truth and will now settle for a nice fantasy

I'm a hoarder. (I excuse myself with the rationalization that you can see my floor, use the bathroom, there's no keeping of garbage or recycling, etc. And I'm not keeping broken, unuseable things.) And I used to watch the Lifetime series Hoarders. And I identified with their rationalizations for keeping what they kept. I'm not the first to say "One person's trash is another person's treasure.") But I'm so against the set-up of the show because of the manipulated DRAHMAH! (Duh, like I should be surprised?)

1) They force hoarders to get rid of *everything* in a few days. Sometimes only one. They wipe the houses clean, down to nothing, no semblance of anything personal left -- and consider that a success. No wonder the hoarders end up feeling bereft and go out in a replacement frenzy afterwards.

2) Worse, they involve the hoarder's family! Bet anyone can predict what that causes: arguments, old family stuff revisited with a vengeance, buttons being pushed, near nervous breakdowns. And the alleged hoarding specialist psychologists watch it all go on. The hoarder is trapped, and set up to be tortured for our entertainment ‪#‎lions‬-vs-Christians.

Just sayin'. Since it showed up on the tv screen just now. Note to self: watch cute animal vids while you eat, not ANY "reality" show!
