Playfulness, connection, and flow only exist in the moment when we feel them, which explains the fascinating fact that True Fun occurs exclusively in the present tense. Also, unlike positive states such as happiness or satisfaction, True Fun is an experience. This means that we can’t have True Fun continuously, alas, because each instance of it has a beginning and an end. But on the flip side, this makes fun more accessible; it’s easier to imagine specific circumstances in which you might have fun than it is to imagine how you could become someone who is happy or satisfied.
