Learning and Play
My roommate recently got a kitten called Kiko, and I've been playing with him a lot recently.
When talking about Kiko with a friend over chat recently, I kind of realized something that playing with the cat made obvious.
Play and learning are really extremely similar, with the only difference being play benefits survival (historically speaking) while learning (in most cases) benefits community or social standing.
How to apply this to life? I'm actually not sure yet. But it's fun to realize that two distinct – even often-considered-opposite things, are really in fact really similar.
