In the article “The Oasis of Happiness”, Eugen Fink states that in order to depict a behavior in play it must exit in the real world (Fink, 1968). This is true as when watching theatre plays or reading novels, one notices the connection of characters or emotions with real world. For example, the loving emotions depicted by mothers for their new born child allows a child to act motherly towards her doll during the play activity (Fink, 1968). The child observes the external environment and connects it to the idealistic world. The child displays a behavior that pre exits in the real world. Other than this, Fink also discusses about individuals having two personalities, one for the real world and the other for the unreal one (Fink, 1968). This theory could connect with Pat’s argument about cultural influence during a play activity (Power, 2011). Through this, one can understand why imagination is often restricted for some people, as cultural values and morals can impact creative thinking (Power, 2011).This could also allow them to act as per societal norms in the real world but in the idealistic world their expression toward such norms would be displayed. For example, journal entries or poetry by people allow them expression of thoughts that may not be possible in certain scenarios or circumstances. Also, play behavior structured during the imagination process can help identity individual creative thinking process and how it connects to real life experiences (Fink, 1968). If a person observes negative behavior as a child their fantasy world would be influenced by the negative thoughts which would structure a negative responsive behavior in the outcome. Thus, it is crucial to realize the importance of imagination in the play activity as it affects the thoughts the thinking process of
