My mum taught all her life, but rarely pursued her own interests. She took up painting and started having lessons a few years ago. She’s 80 next year.
It is never too late to learn a new skill and so, so good for the soul.

What did Karl Marx predict?
He predicted that under unrestricted Capitalism money would be concentrated into the hands of a handful of individuals, that Governments would become controlled by the richest, and that wages would be subsistence level.
He was right.
