existential question

how many plastic containers does an empty nester couple need?

growing up within the influence of ubiquitous tupperware parties
coming of age amidst the rise of disposable plastic ware
building my home upon the edifice of ziploc boxes
it occurs to me that i actually just use 3 containers on a regular basis.
on any basis in fact.
but i dare not discard them.
in case i need them.
although i have not.
but i might.

it's only with the plastic.
i am able to ruthlessly cull everything else.
even my beloved books.
why?
