There are many reasons (A) (hobbies / people / pursue / why). For many people, the challenge of learning a new skill or achieving a
difficult goal is their primary motivation. Other people enjoy hobbies for the communities
they can become a part of or the friendships they can make there. Still others enjoy hobbies
because they can lose track of time and be in the moment, similar to being in a meditative state.
And some people even end up making contributions to society through their hobbies, oftentimes unexpectedly.
(B) What makes a hobby rewarding and fun is the physical, mental, or emotional experience, or even a combination
of them. Perhaps it should be called “pleisure.”
