A new survey has it that Britons have got so
busy in the daily conundrums of life only fifty percent of adults get
time to play games and have fun.
Only half of adults find time to play games simply for fun as pressures
of work mount, according to a new study.
And thus, they are becoming increasingly miserable.
Most of those who do have time play
computer
games or do newspaper crosswords
and puzzles rather than interacting with others.
Cadbury commissioned the report on the state of play in the UK as part
of its role as a London 2012 sponsor.
"With a growing work ethic, there is the sense we are only doing
anything good if it is productive," the Daily Express quoted
psychiatrist Dr Stuart Brown, founder of the National Institute for
Play, as saying.
"So our free time is taken up by goal-oriented activities rather than
those done purely for pleasure. The danger is that this grinds us down
and leads to a loss of optimism," he added.
"There used to be more family time. Play is crucial for the survival of
the species. Without a sense of play people become rigid and predictable
and are unable to adapt," said Brown.
