Opinion — Continued<br />
from Page 26<br />
Collecting makes us feel<br />
good. It is a diversion from<br />
everyday exertions of having<br />
to work <strong>for</strong> a living. It is<br />
something we do because we<br />
want to, not because we have<br />
to. We can start a collection,<br />
<strong>for</strong>get it <strong>for</strong> 20 years, then<br />
get back into it with nothing<br />
lost, and still have the same<br />
fun. Or one can collect <strong>for</strong> 60<br />
years and still maintain the<br />
same enthusiasm as when<br />
one first started.<br />
What gives value to the<br />
act of collecting is the ef<strong>for</strong>t,<br />
time, and research committed<br />
to the collection: To<br />
learn as much as possible<br />
so one has a sense of fulfillment<br />
and meaning <strong>for</strong> an<br />
enjoyable pastime.<br />
Learning never ends, and<br />
knowledge is power. Long<br />
live collecting!<br />
