There are many ways as many as people to approach stamp collecting, competitive philately, speculative philately, playful philately, etc. I have unknowingly discovered and lived Meditative Philately. It is about comforting the soul and an exercise in contemplation and relaxation that every person deserves to have at least once a day. Thank you Meditative Philately for your attention, and for confirming that I am not the only crazy person experiencing this with stamps. Guillermo Verde Gutierrez Philatelist from Spain
