Thinking about it now, there are a lot of complicated flavors behind the small games as a child.
For example, playing the house, who plays who, is a game that is familiar with the rules of society, but it is inevitable that the people who play together will correct the behavior. It was like this when I was a kid, and it is still like that now.
For example, hide and seek, although it is a game that everyone plays together, it still feels lonely.
After hiding it for a long time... I found out that the children are playing other things... At that time, I couldn't help but start thinking about the meaning of life, right? (…)
