Interesting idea I had the other night… What if we treated life like a not too serious game? Then perhaps, perhaps we could proceed through this life with more joy, fun, lightheartedness, ease and Presto? 
Why so serious?
Actually, if you look at it… To be too serious about things, is perhaps like some sort of thing we are taught and socialize to be? To become grown-up or “adult“, is, to become morose,  dark, emo, taking things and life too seriously.
study children, and kids
If you look at kids, they don’t take anything too seriously. To them, life is simple, play, and opportunity! Even when kids get upset, they get upset for short periods of time, then quickly get over it, and it escapes their consciousness. It does not linger.
recovery
If you think about games, like video games, points, etc.… If your character dies, or whatever, we don’t take it too seriously, it might be a little bit, annoying that we sunk so much time into it, and that we have to start over again… But often, there is a simple joy to start a new character, a new class, a new something?
