Existential dilemma

Post by Andy Milner »

When does a taste become an interest?
When does an interest become a hobby?
When does a hobby become a collection?
When does a collection become an obsession?

I think I'm a hobby/collector but may be in denial.

To ask the question is to be deep in an Egyptian river.

At least it's not a Parisian river.

None of us here have anything other than a minor, passing interest in an obscure red wine from a tiny part of a small country on the western fringes of Europe.

That is what I have consistently told my wife, and myself. I can stop any time I want to.
