I think our lives are supposed to be fun. If lion cubs and other baby animals learn by playing, maybe our own path is found that way, too. Maybe fun is nature’s way of teaching: Spirit/Universe/God guiding.
What else would be the purpose of it?
Animals learn social and survival skills by playing.
Plus, we’re all different in what we find fun. We all have different roles in society. So maybe by doing the so-called “responsible” thing and not having fun, you’re actually denying your God-given role for your community.
Maybe I’m stretching, lol. But maybe I’m right! Who knows?
You can youtube baby animals learning by playing. I linked a vid below of baby flying squirrels because it’s beautiful footage and they are FUN.
