I don't understand it. If someone has a hobby that they enjoy, and it doesn't harm others, even if it's something you don't like who cares.
Everyone does it. I'd be willing to bet some people that don't understand why toy collectors are judged, also judge die-hard sports fans, car enthusiasts, motorcycle enthusiasts, horse enthusiasts, golfers, train collectors, hot wheels collectors, etc....
I try to look at a hobby as the happiness that it gives someone and be happy for them. I want my joy to come from my hobby, not from thinking that I'm better than someone because of theirs.
I feel most sorry for those that have no passions, hobbies, or ones that damage their lives and families.
Well said.
