tokens: The importance of games for adults comparing to children As people grow up, the arguments about the importance of games arise . Some people think that, adults need playing games as children do . However, in my opinion, games are no longer too important for them for several reasons . The first reason is that games become unnecessary for people when their careers begin . Someone may argue that games help adults relax and become more balanced in life . But, more often, the pressure of work and family commitment force them to abandon their lifelong hobbies, and as a result, they cannot spend enough time and effort to their favorite games as they did in 15 or 20 years ago . For example, in my country, except for a minor part of professional athletes, the majority of people stop playing games seriously as soon as they find a decent job . They often feel that such games become more troublesome than enjoyable for their daily lives . Another reason should be mentioned is that adults often do not pursue games as a competitive activity, while children are always keen on competition and winning . For youngsters, maintaining their desire to win often develops many outstanding characteristics whether they participate sport events or not . For example, my younger sister likes fencing, and thanks to her desire to win, she never gives up when facing a difficult situation, or even becoming hurt . On the other hand, adults often consider such behaviors as childish and drop them immediately . In fact, a competitive person usually finds it difficult to cooperate with friends and colleagues . Because of that, they no longer play games for any moderate achievements, and gradually lose their interest in such activities . To sum up, I think adults do need to play games, but their styles are often distinct from children's, which are often less competitive and more enjoyable . Along with the high requirement for family and work, games are just some leisure activities for adults, not something necessary as they are meant to be for children .
