* Worrying that we can't find a 2-pack comic set
* etc etc etc

Then we have pretty good lives. If we got fired from our jobs, laid off, were diagnosed with a terminal illness, lost a loved one, or another awful tragedy...how trivial would the ankle joints on an Iron Man figure be.

Puts it in perspective is all. Because this forum can be a lot of fun and certainly informative, but dang the truth is a LOT of folks just b*tch about stuff.

I'll get off my soapbox now.

Very well said.

Everyday I wake up and I'm thankful for my collection but in the grand scheme of things I know it is a superficial concept. I'd find it hard to part with it but....I would if life got to the point where real truth became more evident then this life style we maintain.

I do think about this concept a lot. Thank you for bringing it up.
