The children almost always want to play. And the adults?
Adults can make two types of games: the game free and open to the imagination of the typical children, or aiming to gain the game: play the stock market, play the lottery, bet on horse races, playing at casinos, etc..
The second type of game is generally very sad, and sometimes a source of anxiety to ruin the game instead of which I speak here is the first type.
One of the most sad that we can hear from an adult is that they are many years that no longer plays, because the game is a serious matter.
The game is an attitude of the soul, is an attitude of mind, is the grace that is embodied in our daily lives.
If I have to wait an hour or two in the waiting room of the doctor, I mortally bored or I can start playing by counting the floor tiles to find out how many, I can follow the flight paths of insects that are present in the room looking to provide, I can observe the behavior of people sitting in front of me fantasizing about their lifestyles, I can bet that a patient will come the room of the doctor after five minutes and check the result, and so on. etc..
You can make millions of games: you can play with words, colors, shapes, with memory, with the designs, with fantasy, with memories, with numbers, with the objects. You can play alone, with friends, with children, with people whom you love, to strangers.
who grows up without saving within itself the size of the game, lives the life in black and white. There may be times in life when we must defend by mourning, grief and abandonment and the desire to play can not be part of our lives, but it is important that it remains alive within us, without getting lost altogether.
On the other hand, I do not like even the opposite extreme, that is, those who play in almost any situation, as eternal children, because their work seems to me contrived, formulaic, the result of an effort to ward off the most problematic of life.
people I love instead, even though they live normal lives on average, while dealing with understanding the hardships that life sometimes puts them in front, keep alive within him the desire to smile and laugh, cutting the widest possible areas of curiosity, adventure, freedom to play. Because the game is continuous creation, is unpredictable at its best, is an incentive for invention, is openness to life.
Without guilt, without false modesty, without fear of appearing childish.
I believe that those who, despite everything, he saved inside her playful attitude typical of children, a disservice to the relations between men and give a good contribution to the welfare of all.
