Where does the fun lie?

It may just be a scrabble game, but you’re winning and it feels overwhelming. All your interest in classic novels and texts have paid off. But the other three players start to grumble about how you’re trying too hard, but they don’t realize that they are killing the fun for you. They don’t understand that the fun isn’t in the game, but it’s in realizing that something that you believed to be an inferior hobby turned out to be worthwhile after all.
