Nat's Notes
The Importance of Play and Embracing Life's Meaninglessness
Children today are constantly pressured to excel and achieve in structured activities instead of enjoying the simple pleasures of childhood. In John Gray's book, he proposes that embracing the idea that life is ultimately meaningless and uncontrollable allows us to experience guilt-free play and appreciate the present moment. He suggests that humans, unlike other animals, cannot do without a purpose in life. If you're intrigued by these ideas, be sure to check out Gray's book, 'Strong Dogs'.
