Summary

This quote suggests that through engaging in an hour of play with someone, you can learn more about their character, essence, and true nature, compared to spending an entire year having discussions with them. Play tends to reveal hidden aspects of a person's personality, including their strengths, weaknesses, and their ability to adapt to different situations. Play also allows for spontaneous interactions and uninhibited behavior, which may uncover traits and tendencies that would otherwise remain concealed in formal conversations. These genuine, unfiltered moments of play offer deeper insight into understanding individuals.

There are two modes of criticism. One which crushes to earth without mercy all the humble buds of Phantasy, all the plants that, though green and fruitful, are also a prey to insects or have suffered by drought. It weeds well the garden, and cannot believe the weed in its native soil may be a pretty, graceful plant.
