Chapter 8: Play
As Daniel Pink says Play is an elevation of another high-touch, high-concept sense. Play isn't just about kids; Play also plays a large part in adult's lives too. How much time do you spend with children? If you are a parent, then hopefully quite a bit of time. After playing with kids, do you feel as if you have been opened up? Exposed because you have never really played since you were younger? Maybe all you need is play to open you up, to help you relax. Joyfulness, laughter, and humor are all apart of play. Humor is a wonderful stress reliever, and I most certainly agree. When I have a stressful day working, I come home and watch that comedy- *M*A*S*H. It makes me laugh so hard that I soon forget my problems and fears. Comedy has the same affect on many people. It makes people laugh and feel good, so as to forget any pain or stress that is felt. Games are also a fun way to play. They are sometimes addicting, and can be educational too. I think that board games are a great way to pass time, and can help as Mr. Pink says, “Many aspects of video gaming resemble the aptitude of Symphony-spotting trends, drawing connections, and discerning the big picture.” Just like Laughing, gaming can also help to relieve stress, while also being very addictive!!
"To the other fishes and molesks who told me that I was crazy for opening and closing my head every time I talked. Look at this guy!" This was a fun challenge, that stimulated my brain. I think I will consider doing these sort of comics next time.
Thanks to DIgital Calvin and Hobbes for the comic strips.
