Exhibit B: Right to Play

running man

"Play is not just tossing the football or doing something stereotypical. It can be reading a novel or having an imaginative reverie. There are lots of alternatives that can put one in a 'state of play'... The key component is that your play has no apparent purpose- it should be an activity that's fun or makes you feel good, that provides freedom from time, and that diminishes your consciousnesses of self."
