An echo from our origins
Rife with History
Role playing has it's roots so far back in our history that we cannot event remember when it began. The first and most used way of learning social roles, contexts and reactions, this function is even observed in other species. We have even considered it as a high form of art for quite a while now.
Role playing is often depicted as the act of interpreting a character, be it a real of fictional one. Today, we see that is it much more than that. It is a form of development that enables us to practice and learn about our environment. It can be used in therapy as a form of analyzing situations and reactions. It can also be, as we see here, a game.
A life lesson
Starting from a very young age, children all start to role play, whether this be together or alone. Be it playing "cowboys and Indians", having a tea party with empty cups or imagining being in a movie, role playing allows children to build their own universe. They are all powerful and free to do what they please, with only their imagination to limit them. They develop their creativity, confidence and bonds through role playing. It prepares them for life.
However, role playing, contrarily to what some may believe, is not only a children's game. Many people chose to make living out of the activity, we call it acting, or preforming, and many other names as well. Others use role playing as a technique to succeed in their lives, but all of us use it daily.
Have you ever imagine the perfect comeback that you would have said in your last conflict? Have you ever imagined your future self or life ? Haven't you ever pictured yourself as a hero ? If so, then you are already a role player.
What we know today is that there are a multitude of benefits that result from role playing games. Be it in child development, preparation for real life situations, or simply to become a better person, role playing is an unquenchable source of useful experiences.
