Your essay is a great read! Wonderful job!
There is something I'd like bring up for discussion:
※ 引述《philJamy (Jamy)》之銘言：
: Therefore, games are never likely to become important for them. Besides,
: unlike children, many adults have lost the sincerity and curiosity. Obeying
: rules, which is a fundamental element, is not comfortable for adults. "Why
: should I?" They may ask and ask before, in, and after the games. Can one play
: games happily while he doubts and refuses to follow the rules? I don't think
: so. On the opposite, kids usually play without asking questions, and that's
: why they can enjoy the games.
As one grows up, one learns to take more responsibilities, and becomes more
capable of influencing and impacting the lives of others through his or her
actions. Therefore, it is necessary for one to learn discipline, obedience,
and often, social conformance.
I believe that most adults are more comfortable than children obeying rules.
I think they get so comfortable following rules, that they lose creativity,
curiosity, sincerity, and the ability to "think outside the box". They become
strict, dull, and unwilling to indulge in a little more fun than they usually
get.
While obeying the rules is a fundamental element in most games, what makes
children more enjoying is their willingness to bend the rules a little.
There is often no written rulebook for many of children's games. Children
often make up their own rules on the playground, and these rules are often
different from one playground to another. The important thing is that
everyone agree to play within a few general rules in order to all have fun
together.
"Hang the code, and hang the rules. They're more like guidelines anyway."
- Elizabeth Swann in "Pirates of the Caribbean"
