We Love to Play. We Hate to Work.

“Play” is the opposite of “work.” When we play, we engage in recreation and entertainment. We play for the fun of it. We get to relax and do things we enjoy. There’s no responsibility in play, no strict rules we have to follow except in games, and even there, if we’re just playing, we can relax the rules. We can recapture a bit of our childhoods for a while, be carefree, drop our burdens, and just be ourselves. We get to choose the location, the activities, have no schedule to adhere to. Vacations are for fun. Fun is…fun.
