None of us so afflicted collect things for fame or fortune. We do it because we can’t help it. We go around collecting things that may not make sense to others, but mean the world to us. We collect smiles and tears, laughter, exhilaration and fear. We wouldn’t have it any other way if we could; we were born that way. But we also create. We might express ourselves in ways that are different. We might be thought of as being mentally ill; and we are. But we also possess an innate sense of compassion that is possibly the antithesis to man’s inhumanity to man. We care and we achieve. It is programmed into our DNA.
