Love this! Great article Roshan. I agree that playfulness and maturity can completely coexist! They are on totally seperate spectrums. Maturity is knowing when playfulness is appropriate though I suppose? My dad, one of the most mature men I know (he practices being able to respond calmly rather than react emotionally in most situations — even very difficult ones) is also the silliest and most playful. He says fun backwards is “nuf” so we need to have e‘nuf fun! I hung upside down on a kids playground yesterday— silly fun is definitely necessary, especially once we get mature!
