Define Fun

What is fun?

Activities that are enjoyable or amusing; fun is the expenditure of time in a manner designed for therapeutic refreshment of one's body or mind. While leisure is more likely a form of entertainment or sleep, recreation is active for the participant but in a refreshing and diverting manner. .

Fun is being able to enjoy yourself, in another words it being able to part take in an activity or one’s state of mind, I think having fun is doing anything that makes you happy and is entirely positive. It can be invigorating for your soul or it can be a mildly pleasant past-time.
