"If a person decided to always indulge in serious affairs, not allowing himself any entertainment and jokes, then either he would imperceptibly fall into madness, or he would immediately be broken by paralysis" – Herodotus. "In an hour of playing with a person, you can learn more about him than in an hour of conversation," Plato said. Why all these clever words? To the fact that 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 the 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!
