Question

1. People tend to emess possessions, sometimes being aware of doing so. Indeed they
can have a delightful surprise when they find something useful, which they did not know
they owned. Those who never have to change house become indiscriminate collectors of
what can only be described as clutter. They leave unwanted cbjects in drawers,
cupboards and attics for years, in the belief that they may one day need just those
very things, as they grow old people also accumulate belongings for two other reasons,
lack of physical and mental energy, both of which are essential in turning out and
throwing away, and sentiment. Things owned for a long time are full of associations with
the past, perhaps with the relatives who are dead, and so they gradually acquire a value
beyond their true worth
2. Something is collected deliberately in the home in an attempt to avoid waste. Among
these, I would list string and brown paper, kept by thrifty people when a parcel has
been opened, to save buying these two requisites. Collecting small items can easily
become a mania I know someone who always cuts out from newspapers sketches of model
clothes that she should like to buy, if she had the money. As she is not rich the chances
that she will ever be able to afford such purchases are remote. But she's never
sufficiently strong-minded to be able to stop the practice. This is a 'harmless habit', but
it litters up her desk to such an extent that every time she opens it, loose bits of paper
fall out in every direction,
3. Collecting as a serious hobby is quite different and has many advantages. It provides
relaxction for leisure hours, as just looking at one's treasures is always a joy. One does
not have to go out for amusement, since collection is housed at home. Whatever it
consists of, stemps, records, first editions of books, China glass, antique furniture,
pictures, model cars, stuffed birds, toy animals, there is always something to do in
connection with it, from finding the right place for the latest edition to verifying facts
in reference books. This hobby educates one not only in the chosen subject, but also in
general matters which have some bearing on it.
