The famous quote, “You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation”, is often attributed to Plato, the ancient Greek philosopher. It suggests that observing someone in a playful, unguarded moment can reveal more about their character and true nature than long, structured discussions ever could. Play strips away pretenses and showcases creativity, problem-solving skills, and genuine emotions.
