"هر اشتیاق مرزی با آشفتگی دارد اما اشتیاق کلکسیونر مرز با آشفتگی خاطرات دارد"
— Walter Benjamin
Simplified Meaning:
When someone feels very strongly about something, it can sometimes make their life feel a bit disorganized or wild. This is true for collectors, too, but their strong interest in gathering items is tied closely to memories. Think about a person who collects old postcards. Each postcard they keep might remind them of a different place they've visited or a special moment in time. The collector's room might look messy, with postcards everywhere, but each one holds a personal story that means a lot to them. So, while their collection might seem chaotic from the outside, it's actually a very meaningful and emotional chaos, filled with precious memories. For someone looking to apply this idea, if collecting things makes them happy, they should embrace it, understanding that the seeming mess holds personal value and memories.
