It is an inevitable principle of play, finite and infinite, that whoever plays, plays freely. Whoever must play, cannot play.*
We want everyone to play, don’t we?

Yes. And the key word is freely. Willingly. Using a will that is free.
Not triggered by desire, fear of being left behind, maintaining self image, expecting a reward, etc.
Because then one feels inclined to play. And it is not free.
Thank you.
Thanks for adding the colour to this, Shirley.
