It turns out being really good at the hiding part of hide and seek isn’t very fun…even though the whole point of the hiding part is to hide where you can’t be found.
But not being found really sucks. It’s lonely, and eventually the seekers give up and forget about you.
I was really good at hiding. I wanted to be. That was the whole point right?
Now looking back, we can see that the point of hide and seek was never actually about being good at hiding or seeking…the point was to have fun. That was the whole reason anyone suggested the game in the first place.
It’s more fun to be found than to not be found.
And it’s more fun to have fun than be the best at hiding.
Once we know the point of hide and seek is to have fun, we make sure to have fun, even if it means being found.
Clarity of the REAL point is a sure step to achieving the real point.
(And often times the ‘point’ isn’t in the name, but the experience)
