Since there are no limits to how much we can learn, we all can supplement our education regardless of how far we have gone in formal schooling. The less educated can find fulfillment in catching up on subjects they missed, and the well educated often acquire a taste for the pleasure of learning. The continual expansion of our collective knowledge offers a great diversity of topics we can dabble in or study. College classes and adult education programs are growing and becoming more available to local communities. Books, tapes, computers, and educational television are proliferating.
People can also form their own interest groups.
Some people are even pursuing formal degrees late in life just for their own personal growth. Perhaps an old proverb applies here. Learn as if you are going to live forever, and live as if you are going to die tomorrow. As souls we do live forever, but that living is only real in the now. We have already discussed some of the values of arts and crafts as products and means of communication.
