There's smtg about 7th Month

There's something about 7th Month which I dun quite understand....

There is usually massive burning of "offerings" along housing estates for the souls that have been released.

But then hor, arn't the final resting places of these souls located at the cemeteries or temples etc where their ashes/body are buried?

So why isnt these offerings burnt at these places during 7th Month? There should be a higher concentration of burning to your own family or extended family right?

Ok, lets say these burnings are meant for your extended family, but you burn them near your own home? Would they know when and where to go and "collect" their goodies? Or is there some interesting network that connects anyone to their loved ones just by burning something?

I find the randomness of burning makes it tough for both parties to account for it.

Worse still, it usually creates a huge mess after the humans are done with their burning... pity the cleaners who have to go round cleaning up. Maybe there should be some campaign to tell people that 2hrs after their burning, they should go clean up after their stuff.

We should not be encouraging these forms of litter right?
