Give me an example.  I think it is becoming apparent that you and
I don't quite relate to music in the same way; at least when it comes
to having an emotional relationship in music. This is probably why I
am having trouble understanding your point of view here.

Hmmm... I think I might be beginning to understand what you mean.
"Labor of love", right?

Sure when I practice playing an instrument sometimes I get frustrated,
but overall being occasionally frustrated doesn't mean I'm not having
fun.

When you say "contingency plan", what do you mean here?  Find another
activity that is enjoyable?  Heck, I love watching American football...

I hope you don't mind me asking these questions.
