How to use "Gathering" in context?
Gathering can be defined in many ways. The most general definition is to collect items together. Gathering can be as simple as stacking dishes in the dishwasher, or it can be as complex as securing a herd of elephants in a safari park. In both cases, the goal is to make it easier to do what needs to be done, quickly and with as little fuss as possible.
There are many reasons to collect items. Sometimes it's because you don't want to waste resources by throwing something away. Other times you may need to put something away in a specific place, and a container will make that easier.
