I think this sums it up pretty well. It helps remove the stigma associated with the term in the mind that fosters an attitude which equates "practice" with "work."
That said, I don't practice because it leads my mind into endless thought problems and mind games which bring me down a rabbit hole where my sense of purpose and self-esteem and the very existence of the point of living are called into question, facing insurmountable doubt: How have I let myself waste so much time and money and effort on something that will never amount to more than a few moments' enjoyment now and then? Yeah, who needs that? I'm good with my skill level.
OK, I'm kidding - mostly - I think, but I can sure see how someone could feel that way.
But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. - Dennis Miller
