Most of us are collectors. Not surprising, considering our history as hunters and gatherers. What we collect – whether it be works of art or old computers – tells us much about ourselves and our society. Collections can get out of hand and turn in to obsessions for people. What was once a collection of things can quickly turn into absolute clutter, but the collector doesn't see it as clutter. When it gets out of hand like this, the collector can find it very hard to let go of everything they have, it becomes an obsession; This is the difference between hauding and collecting.
Here is a good example of when collecting can get out of hand, and it becomes hauding.
