18. To be playful is not to be trivial or frivolous, or to act as
though nothing of consequence will happen. On the
contrary, when we are playful with each other we relate
as free persons, and the relationship is open to surprise;
everything that happens is of consequence. It is, in fact,
seriousness that closes itself to consequence, for
seriousness is a dread of the unpredictable outcome of
open possibility. To be serious is to press for a specified
conclusion.To be playful is to allow for possibility
whatever the cost to oneself.
James Carse

of the vast majority of higher education institutions.
