- If life was a playground, your desires would be the children playing around -

Then, how do we go about these kids playing around? Letting them go wild? Maybe not the best idea. Limiting their ides of playing, so that they do not hurt themselves? Everyone has got their own version of raising their kids.  However, if it's the adults playing around, it gets tensious. Therefore, people from ages ago already tried to capture acceptable behaviours in the form of ethical constructs. In my Master Philosophy: Bioethics & Health, I came acros a lot of the constructs. They give a recoomendation to how to act. Life would get a lot easyer with this, you should say. 

So, where do desires fit in? Those are used to Western habbits, often rely on logics to limit their desires, so that these do not harm others. Desires and logic dance around like fire and water. However, the role of ethics here is often seen as the part that logic takes in, while this is a misunderstanding in my eyes. As an ethicist, I'm, of-course, protector of the word itself. Therefore, let me make introdue to you: the playground-thesis. Because, I like to see life as a playground. And it fits the situation at hand. When you can do whatever you want, your acts would be meaningless (following the reasoginng of the infinity-argument). Therefore, we have values that make the one attitude different relative to the other. In this sense, ethics is a game between logic and desire.

- In other words, ethics might come across as the boundaries for behaviour, while actually, they allow you to play around. -
