Games people play
Life is just a game,
and the more peculiar forms it takes,
the more advanced its purposes and methods,
the more seriously it takes itself,
the more childish it becomes,
since even world wars are just children's plays
in kindergarten backyard playing grounds,
completely irresponsible and stupid,
just a whim of vanity like any world war.
More advanced as children's plays
are then activities of loneliness
not affecting others, and the first of these
is naturally and of course creation,
building new worlds out of nothing,
piously engendering new enterprises and ideas;
but the most elevated art of creativity
is still just only children's play,
an act of vanity of no more serious consequence
than any fun in any kindergarten.
