Is it an addiction to ask why, or is it just an abundance of curiosity? Collectors tend to dig into whatever happens to interest them and then preserve it for posterity. Perhaps it an illness; the desire to live in a profoundly more complexed world then most of the population. We turn our backs to prepackaged answers and seek instead to pry odd pieces from among an untidy heap to create our own sense of order. There is an common understanding between collectors; I may not understand why you have chosen to collect what you do, but I know the joy of collecting.
