To be playful is not to be trivial or frivolous, or to act as if nothing of consequence will happen. On the contrary, when we are playful_ everything that happens is of 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 unlimited possibility.
A finite game is played for the purpose of winning, an infinite game for the purpose of continuing the play.
