the
factors which make a
game, which is a contest of person against person or
team against
team. A
game consists of
freedom,
barriers and
purposes, and there is a
necessity in a
game to have an opponent or an
enemy. Also, there is a
necessity to have problems, and enough
individuality to
cope with a
situation. To live
life fully, then, one must have, in addition to "something to do," a higher
purpose; and this
purpose, to be a
purpose at all, must have
counter-
purposes or
purposes which
prevent it from occurring. This last is very important If a person lacks problems, opponents and
counter-
purposes to his own, he will invent them. Here we have in essence the
totality of
aberration.
