It Made the Children Laugh and Play: advanced lessons in loving life

2/22/2015

0 Comments

 
How come we never think of adults laughing and playing? How come when we do we generally only think of them doing so with a child or if they’re drunk.

As adults we often forget to spend time doing fun stuff, like playing with your friends, and recreational activities, or what I consider advanced tactics in loving life.

Sure it sounds basic, and yes, some things are no longer as much fun when you’re grown up, but others are. Sometimes even more so because as adults we have fewer rules confining our creativity and behaviours, basically just laws as opposed to parentally defined rules as well as all laws.

So why is this an advanced lesson?

Well most of the time that you choose not to have fun is due to fear of what people will think of your choice activity and how you’re doing it. It’s why you’re not first on the dance floor, why you didn’t try sea kayaking on your last vacation, and why you didn’t dress up for Halloween even though you had a great costume idea. It’s why you’ve only ever sang with 7 other people at karaoke. Truly I don’t know what you’ve missed out on, but the fear of judgment from stuffy people isn’t worth not laughing and playing, and I guarantee you've missed out doing a lot based on fear of judgment or unknown outcomes of your attempt.

We are so good at getting in our own way, and keeping ourselves from the love-filled lives we deserve. When elderly people were asked what they regretted all of the things they wish they’d done more is the laughing, the playing, the friends and family and the taking of risks. I can't tell you what to do, only that you it's worth stepping out of your comfort zone even if you must awkwardly toss your limbs one at a time over the hurdle. There is a grand freedom to enjoying play and not letting those who are less happy get you down with their contemptuous glares. Forget what unhappy people Get out of your own way and go play.
