Very good point

If you're "playing" as an adult and you have any sort of competitiveness, you're still taking it seriously. At least I do...

There's no time for "playing" when all the floors have suddenly turned to lava. This is serious business.

I’d argue adults take everything too seriously, and thus are constantly looking to return to their youth because they know child’s play is the default “IDGAF”

I like it. And I believe I follow this process.

I didn’t build a fort for “fun”… I built a fort to set up a defensive perimeter in the event of an attack from the neighbors

thanks nostr feed for the daily dose of wisdom🙏

Fundamental to human nature. Play is true happiness.
