Allows us to trust and ideally love. Increasing affinity, to respect ourselves and others. To have purpose and goals and create games, that we can find enjoyment in, for a game is a test. A game has opposition, barriers to face, to hurdle and overcome. Doing so as a team, manifests greater courage. Communication and reality grows and understanding is met.<br />&nbsp;Reflection. Connection.
