Some people 'need' more order and other people need more chaos. Both things taken in isolation though, are destroyers. One kills by asphyxiation the other blows you apart.
Playfulness is chaos within order. The introduction of goals and routine is order within chaos.
Goals are crutches, but if they ‘keep the train on the tracks’, then why not have them?
But, goals and routine are only ‘useful’ to those mired in chaos; They will just stifle and confine the others even more.
