Fun is the most fundamentally important social force. Honor, love, and altruism are all important. But fun trumps them all.
If you love someone, you need to play together. You need to enjoy time with that person, and you need to enjoy it more because they’re with you. You need to be a positive addition to their fun as well. Nothing will bond you closer.
Play games with your children, your parents, your dearest friends. Do wild and silly things. Make jokes, and learn to laugh easily. Say yes to as many offers of playtime as you can.
If you aren’t having fun, what’s the point?
