Playfulness is the light side of romance. Having fun and being light hearted results in a sense of joy and being in the present moment. It is reality based. Romance is defined here as being in fantasy, wishing things to be different than they are, and/or playing the “grass is always greener on the other side of the fence” scenario.
Humanity has advanced, when it has advanced, not because it has been sober, responsible, and cautious, but because it has been playful, rebellious, and immature. -Tom Robbins
It is requisite for the relaxation of the mind that we make use, from time to time, of playful deeds and jokes. -Thomas Aquinas
