it is not too late to become wiser. If you are forty then you still have your other half life ahead of you. Forget about the past, it is just a bad dream. You will be much better than those who are still in the dark, those who would like to live in the dark, and those who are still making tricks to keep people in the dark.
Enjoy the life, the wisdom, the art, the civilization, and the knowledge of mankind.
I really think that it is so stupid to try to cure the terminal diseases of a society by singing certain songs in this modern age.
