Some people believe that hobbies need to be difficult to be enjoyable.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Some hobbies are relatively easy, while others present more of a challenge.
Personally, I believe
that both types of hobby can be fun, and I therefore disagree with the
statement that hobbies need
to be difficult in order to be enjoyable.
On the one hand, many people enjoy easy hobbies.
One example of an activity that is easy for
most people is swimming. This hobby requires very little equipment,
it is simple to learn, and it
is inexpensive. I remember learning to swim at my local swimming
pool when I was a child, and
it never felt like a demanding or challenging experience.
Another hobby that I find easy and fun
is photography. In my opinion, anyone can take interesting
pictures without knowing too much
about the technicalities of operating a camera.
Despite being straightforward, taking photos is a satisfying activity.
On the other hand, difficult hobbies can sometimes be more exciting.
If an activity is more
challenging, we might feel a greater sense of satisfaction
when we manage to do it successfully.
For example, film editing is a hobby that requires a high level
of knowledge and expertise. In my
case, it took me around two years before I became competent at this activity,
but now I enjoy it
much more than I did when I started. I believe that many
hobbies give us more pleasure when we
reach a higher level of performance because the results
are better and the feeling of achievement
is greater.
In conclusion, simple hobbies can be fun and relaxing,
but difficult hobbies can be equally pleasurable for different reasons.
