The hoard or a collection?

 The hoard or a collection?

Commentary on a Facebook post of a Corning/Corelle Pyrex collection filled pantry.

Yiu like have seen the post a pantry filled to the brim on wooden shelving of vintage and modern Pyrex and Corning  ceramic and glassware , all neatly nested or tucked on 3 wooden shelves lining this closet. It's stunning to visually.  The caption reads: " I need one more bowl for this set. Then I am done, I swear." The myriad colors and patterns encompasses from the 1950s to now colors and styles and its captioned are a shock. I commented wow overload and you could open a museum and charge admission.

My brothers sometimes try to accuse mom.and I of being hoarders She and I live together and we are in a tiny 4 room plus an attic apartment. That is maybe 500 square feet total attic maybe 250 sq foot.. so about 700 all together,  but we moved from 1250 with a garage.  That's absevere changebut by comparison to this. We are  not.  Our reality is we have things that would fit perfectly in a larger space with organization. And until we have that space we really should use offsite storage or perhaps liquidate or give away so we can fit better in the space we are in since we do not have the energy to keep things in a more tidy and organized fashion. This person has it organized but its still overload.. its her collection. I got this from a homemaking housekeeping group I joined last year on Facebook. We really need to be careful with labels we apply just because something is not to our personal liking, taste or style of what we think is functional, we should not malign it because it's not us. Every person has to be themselves.  If we don't allow people to be themselves it denies them both their humanity and personal agency.  Even just saying oh that's you.  Or you do you. That's a rejection and implying on some level that a person needs to conform or is not conforming to your personal perspective or acceptance. Yes there sometimes someone's likes seem crazy or abhorrent, or rubs you the wrong way or makes you angry.  But who fits perfectly into anything.  95% of people don't we are all unique. We all have individual souls. There are 10 billion different ways from the 10 billion different souls on this planet. If anything helps someone reorganize  .  But you are not going to help and only want to criticize. That actually tells more about you not the person you are negatively criticizing. That shows more of your darkness of the soul. Than the fact someone invested a lot of time and money into collection  not personal relationships. That tells a lot about the inner life of that person.
