The benefits of leisure

Politicians also have no leisure, because they are always aiming at something beyond political life itself - Power and glory, or happiness.

-Aristotle


Interesting! This morning, while cleaning the shells on display at home (they have turned dusty gray), I learned something new about how they actually grow. Most shells (if not all) grow their shells clockwise. That is why you can see distinctive clockwise patterns in them. Interestingly enough, you can also note, especially in some species (e.g. gastropods), their sizes before they assumed their present size. Try observing your shells on display at home, you'll be amazed. That's something new I learned today! Truly, leisure time (too much of it) brings a lot of learning.
