Limits are fun? Limits are fun!

Play is what happens when we accept these limitations, narrow our focus, and, consequently, have fun. Which is also how to live a good life.

This reminds be a lot about the paradox of choice, where the more options you have, the less satisfied you are with your final decision. By setting limits, you’re forced to be a lot more creative. The movie Deadpool came out this summer, and went on to be the highest grossing rated R movie of all time. The secret of its success? Besides the rugged good looks or Ryan Reynolds, it had a very modest budget.

Superman was).
