Fun

Do we lose the ability to have fun as we grow older? I wonder if there is something inherent in adult behaviour which limits our ability to fool around and have fun as spontaneously as we did when we were children. Then there is all the busyness that surrounds us as well as the adult responsibilities of looking after ourselves and others, earning a living and paying the bills. Where does fun fit into all of this? It's particularly easy to forget to have fun when there is so much concern about the economy and environment all around us. But fun doesn't have to be expensive or damaging to the environment. We just have to find the best way to go about it.
