“If a person decided to always indulge in serious matters, not allowing himself any entertainment and jokes, then either he would imperceptibly fall into madness, or he would immediately be paralyzed,” Herodotus. “In an hour of playing with a person, you can learn more about him than in an hour of conversation,” Plato. Why all these lectures? Moreover, games and fun are that important time when we relax, rest our soul and body, give free rein to our spirit. The photo collection "The Power of the Game" by legendary photographer Steve McCurry perfectly illustrates this blissful state when problems fade into the background, and a person is simply happy with what he is doing at the moment. Let's all play!
