Why can't we just have fun? Why does life have to be such a battle? Why
can't we have a baseball game just for the fun of it? 

Recently, I attended a baseball game at the local high school. I thought
I would just go and enjoy the game. I did not know any of the players; 
I just wanted to enjoy the game. 

Then I met an unfamiliar phenomenon of high school baseball. Parents of
baseball players! 

The game started as normal but soon the air exploded with shouting and
yelling in the stands. I did not quite understand what all the noise 
was about at the time. Two women, imagine that, got in a fistfight over 
the ballgame! They were mothers of two of the players on opposite 
teams. 

That was just the beginning of the shouting and the yelling that
afternoon. As I walked away, I sadly shook my head and said to myself, 
“Why can't we just have fun?” 

I believe the Preacher in the book of Ecclesiastes explains it well. “I
have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all 
was vanity and vexation of spirit” (Ecclesiastes 1:14 KJV). 

Some are so caught up in the vanity and vexations of life that they
never know what it is like to just enjoy life. Why can't we just have a 
little bit of fun?
