<p>[QUOTE="ErolGarip, post: 2860974, member: 88736"]Of course, kids too have hobbies at all ages. But, they have "after" they have... Not "before" they have... Similarly, an adult who started collecting coins "after" 40 years old does not have that hobby "before" he has that hobby before that age. When such an adult is asked why he is collecting coins he usually answers/tells his reasons for collecting by telling that he started to collect when he was a little child.</p><p><br /></p><p>When such words are said, yes, it is about the "continuity", in another words, "determinism", more specifically, "casual determinism" in which causes are searched in the past.

I guess majority of "old" collectors have followed this path. Why?
