People have forgotten about play. We work, we "relax", we do what needs to be done to teach our children, but adults don't just play. This is reflecting on our children since play is scheduled now and recess is non-existent.
I buy Lego's for my husband, because he likes Lego's but we store them in my son's bedroom. Most of the Lego's are for my son but my husband's are hidden. I love my video games. I play them as much as I can. I would go out to the playground and swing if they made an adult playground, that would be my exercise. Going to the gym is boring. Plus, there are not many adult organized sports unless you go professional. So, what do adults do to just play?
We need physical activity for our health, but with other adults putting people down when you see an adult play, eventually nobody plays.
Now for the proposal; we need to make a national day for play. Or we could call the day, do what you want day with out harming yourself or others. On that day, adult women would stop looking down their noses at the men and women who do want to play. There would be no more of "your an adult grow up", on that day.
I know this will never happen. We strive to become adults when we are children. Does adulthood have to be so boring and depressing? WE adults make adulthood stressful and boring. Why not make this simply change?
