<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Illya2, post: 92828, member: 2676&quot;]Mike, I&#039;ll assume you have considered the possibility that your disenchantment with collecting came first and that the justifications you cited came later. The strong tone with which you expressed them indicates your initial frustration in having lost the inclination to collect. The loss of such a joy can cause similar grief as to the loss of a friend. Denial is a stage of grief. </p><p>&nbsp; The importance we place upon the minutiae of our hobby would place it pretty high up in Maslow&#039;s hierarchy of needs. I have been both gifted and cursed by the fact that I am jack of too many trades to have mastered even one. To do so might provide me with boundless joy, but it would be an dizzying height from which to fall. The collecting I do at the level I pursue gives me great joy. If this is the level I am granted then I am quite content to be a sheep among wolves.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
