A small topic about collecting Actually, I haven`t collected anything in my life. I didn`t even interested in it. But I have heard a lot about people, who are really fond of collecting. For example, one friend of mine is collecting old cars` models. He`d started to collect it when he was a child, and I suppose, that this passion about models inculcated in him by his father. My friend spends a lot of money and time for his hobby. As for me, it looks a bit as wasting and money and time. If I were him, I`d rather make an effort to do sport or learning something new, or even travelling and discovering different cultures. But that`s my point of view. Maybe my friend`s opinion is different. Who am I to judge him? That`s his life and his choice. I agree that collection has something in common with love. Why would someone to deal with something he or she doesn`t love at will? Maybe this kind of love has some features of mania, but so long as this mania does not harm to anyone, I can`t see, why it can be a bad thing.
