Playing TE is like somehow living a life.
Some people enjoy their family and children believing that this is the meaning of life.
Some people have a passion, sports or arts and they are dedicate to that.
Some people like to enjoy life. Stepping out, good food, women, drinks, travels.
Some people want to offer to society (involving in politics, volunteering, environment actions) or being more spirituals.

So every one is choosing what completes him (if he is capable ofc) and having fun with it .
