Whether at work or in our personal lives, we’ve all run into someone we deem lazy. They are happy to go to dinner with you, as long as they are not the one picking up the check. They don’t work on things. They wait for others to do it for them. And so forth.

You’ll find very few lazy people in philately. Those that are around probably won’t be for long.

Like most hobbies, stamp collecting takes some amount of effort. You have to buy albums or make your own albums. You buy material for your collection. It takes organization and effort to build a collection. I do not see lazy people putting that much effort into something like stamp collecting. It’s not a hobby for them.
