I think that's a valid point, nippon. After all, nature requires us to produce enough to sustain life, so it seems that productivity would be a happiness-generating prority for every individual. You gotta eat; you don't gotta screw...or play pool, for that matter.
Yet, a romatic relationship is like the mirror on a career. Expressing love in a good relationship is really a celebration of valuable work, isn't it, not so much the cause of happiness? I wonder if pool, by itself (no job, gambling, etc.), can be powerful enough to sustain such love. I doubt it, unless OTHERS are gaining value from your play (for example, a money-making pro player).
