The real value of material things

Recently watched a video of a man who bought an abandoned house where a hoarder used to live. Seeing the various things left in the house made me remember that a person can indeed not take anything with him or her after death. My mind also took me to those “collections” that I once thought of having but not really came true. I’m a firm believer of collecting experiences more than things but I will not deny of thinking about collecting things that I like in the past. I know the feeling or satisfaction that comes with seeing the things that you love but is it really worth the time and money? We all will die, this is inevitable.

What may be valuable to someone is another person's junk. I collected stamps in my youth, corresponding with people around the world and exchanging stamps.

That’s true. If I have a lot, I can always donate. Wow, do you still have the stamps?

Yeah you're right, some people tend to collect things for popularity but once they die they're not able to bring that in heaven

@weevee18 But the next person will be lucky because he or she is going to sell it or keep it for popularity

I try not to be a hoarder too; and love to concentrate on other things which are way more important than "collections" and stuff like that..

Antique things are very valuable. That's why people are treasuring their old possession in life from figurine to jewelries, cups to tables, among others.

This is a fact too and the value increases as time passes. Do you have any collections?

@weevee18 Nope only their pictures. If I do, we don't have space where to place them.

Things may comfort us physically but what comforts soul are the memories and experience.
