Majority people think that playing games is waste of time in this hectic world whereas I believe games bring positive aspects in our lives. The reasons are awareness of rules, a spirit of cooperation and a method of relieving stress.
First of all, games teach us valuable lessons about rules related to society. In general, when participating in games such as chess, the players have to wait patiently for their turns, follow the strict guidelines and be punished if someone cheats. The routine of games striking resembles society's maxims to obey. For instance, when simply waiting in lines in supermarkets, people have to wait for the payment, cannot steal any goods and be harshly punished if one commits a crime. Through playing games, people naturally gain realisation of the right and importance to follow the rules.
Second, when one is involved in sports team, can experience a spirit of cooperation. In particular, group sports such as rugby cannot achieve victory without combination of individual skills, collective effort and teamwork. Players have to support one who has the ball by guarding all the opponents from attacks, making a path to the end of the field and cheer each other for scoring. Through playing sports, they undergo practical benefits of games by developing their interaction skills and being aware of cooperation.
Lastly, games relieve one's stress. When being engrossed with the games and enjoying the friendly competitions, one can forget all worries and anxieties from work or school. For instance, a cafe with all kinds of board games is popular among teenagers when they go out. They can spend times playing games, making a bet and chatting. Hence, games provide a pleasant leisure time with family and friends.
In conclusion, games enrich quality of life in the ways of learning about rules, a sense of teamwork and creating a delightful atmosphere with friends and family.
