When we declutter, we feel lighter; and people declutter all the time. Here in Australia, households declutter all the time. Every suburb in the city or town is allocated a day in a year in which everyone is encouraged to leave out on the verge or on their front lawn those household items, which they no longer need or simply want to discard. But it always turns out that what one person discards another picks up as an item with which to redecorate their house. Thus the saying goes: “one person’s trash is another’s treasure.” The problem with Dives as with many people, is that they want to hold on to the items that have flayed on the edges, past-their-use-by-date, no longer needed in the household, best for the rubbish-bin. The sin of Dives is not his wealth, it is not his “gluttony and the gourmet feeding on exotic and costly dishes,” which was his daily practice. It is his unwillingness to discard that which was no longer useful to him, and which would eventually end up in his trash-can. In the days of Jesus, people ate with their hands for there were “neither knives, nor forks, nor napkins.” In wealthy homes, therefore, people cleaned their hands with hunks of bread, and then the bread was discarded as trash. It was this bread used for cleaning hands that Dives was unwilling to make available to Lazarus. One person’s pleasure, can become his spiritual undoing, which denies another her own pleasure.
