Sorry, but I sense a contradiction in the above paragraph.  Since
I am not required to make music for a living, I am at a loss to think
of a reason for making music when it is not an enjoyable experience.

Well, I have a day job.  My livelihood does not depend on making music.
There is no other driving force for me to make music other than 
the passion for doing so.

Maybe this is not true for everyone, but then again, note that what
I have said applies specifically to me; I never presumed my statements 
would
be true for everybody.
