What a ridiculously obvious statement

so why does it need stating at all?

Why don't we have more fun on a day to day level?

I think it was Einstein who said that people who smile a lot aren't taken seriously.

What are the advantages of seriousness?

Is there, in fact any evidence suggesting that serious people achieve more? I suspect not; I haven't found any anyhow.

While those of us who believe in playing and fun produce evidence to say they have a place in work and adult life, that not only do they enhance our quality of life but that they also increase our productiveness. There is virtually nothing telling us that we need to be serious.

Why then are schools, workplaces, even families not filled with happy people; laughing, playing and productively having fun?

There's a growing band of us standing up and being counted against that most insidious of Victorian Values, that work is the opposite of play and if it isn't, it is worthless.

Lets bring play, fun and moments of frivolity into all areas of life.

They enhance group relationships, be they family, friend or team and far from distracting us, play and fun increase our clarity, creativity and productivity (and there's nothing wrong with a solitary giggle, or even guffaw either!)
