All of us need time to relax by playing. I think even our politicians need to play to think clearly about national problems. We know that playing has a positive effect on our immune system. It is anti-stress medicine for free.  

Playing cards, or engaging in other indoor or outdoor sports, we will benefit ourselves physically and psychologically. We will feel more relaxed. Play is a mental stimulant. It stimulates our memory cells and our way of thinking. When we play, we use our imagination. We become more creative and are able to solve problems which previously defeated us. 

Play changes our style of interacting with others. Playing with others fosters social skills, teaches us the value of cooperation, and shows us how to share scarce resources. We learn how to learn from disappointment and loss. 

I see young children playing everyday. I notice them happily solving problems, creating new games, and making new rules for their game. I thought our three branches of government can address issues with more thoughtfulness if all of them became like children and learned to resolve and compromise over pressing problems with clear minds. 

All policy makers should get a break from their daily routine. The breaks will deepen their empathy for all those who lack the basic amenities of food, clothing, and shelter. I think all people should have healthy food, secure abode and free education. 

If we take care of our human wealth, we will solve other problems better. Let us think about keeping our government relaxed to understand public policies properly. Let the low income and lower middle classes also move forward and keep America advancing in every area.
