A Little Time to Play, A Moment of Joy as a Growing Up Society Member
Growing up is not easy. We face many challenges and responsibilities that demand our attention and energy. We have to study, work, take care of our family and friends, and fulfill our roles as members of society. Sometimes, we feel overwhelmed and stressed by the pressure and expectations that come with adulthood.

But growing up does not mean we have to give up our childhood. We still have the right and the need to play, to have fun, to enjoy ourselves. Playing is not a waste of time or a sign of immaturity. It is a way of expressing ourselves, of learning new things, of relaxing and recharging our batteries. It is a source of joy and happiness that can enrich our lives and make us more resilient and creative.
Playing can take many forms. It can be a hobby, a sport, a game, a craft, or anything else that makes us feel alive and engaged. It can be done alone or with others, indoors or outdoors, with or without rules. The important thing is that it brings us pleasure and satisfaction, that it challenges us and stimulates us, that it allows us to escape from the routine and explore new possibilities.
Playing can also be a way of connecting with others, of building relationships and communities, of sharing experiences and emotions. When we play with others, we learn to cooperate, to communicate, to empathize, to respect, and to trust. We also learn to deal with conflict, to negotiate, to compromise, and to accept differences. Playing can help us develop social skills and emotional intelligence that are essential for our personal and professional growth.
Playing can also be a way of connecting with ourselves, of discovering our strengths and weaknesses, our passions and interests, our values and beliefs. When we play, we experiment with different roles and identities, we express our feelings and thoughts, we challenge our assumptions and prejudices. We also reflect on our actions and choices, on our goals and dreams, on our meaning and purpose. Playing can help us develop self-awareness and self-esteem that are vital for our well-being and happiness.
Playing is not only for children. It is for everyone who wants to live fully and joyfully. It is for everyone who wants to grow as a person and as a member of society. It is for everyone who wants to make the world a better place.
So, let’s play more often. Let’s give ourselves a little time to play every day. Let’s make it a priority and a habit. Let’s enjoy the moment of joy that playing brings us. Let’s remember that playing is not only good for us, but also good for others.
Let’s play.
