The idea of fun is objective, of course, as what may be fun to one person may not be fun to another. But most people believe that unless you are a delinquent, a psychopath, or a sociopath, then we can all agree that having fun is good for you because it makes you feel good and, for the most part, keeps you out of trouble. There has been a lot of research done about fun, and the occasional newspaper article written about fun. For a couple of examples click here and click here.
Then there are those who promote having fun as a way to change everyday behavior. They also propose that having fun is an antidote to war, because those who enjoy themselves don't often want to have war. This is embodied in "The Fun Theory". For more information about The Fun Theory click here.
A couple of final thoughts follow, and they concern having fun that is legal. Beginning with the premise that sex is fun, be aware if you are in Sweden that prostitution is legal, but it is illegal to use the services of a prostitute...hmm... And don't forget that driving while blindfolded is illegal in Alabama, so you'll have to get your fun behind the wheel another way when you're driving there.
Thanks Jes Kay, @JesKay28 on Twitter, and Riddle Me This, @EgoAenigma of Twitter, for requesting today's post--that was fun! What did you learn today?
