If you don't enjoy learning you may be in a minority here.

It sounds almost as if you're saying learning is only possible by reading, which, I would argue, most of the history of humanity proves false.

And not everything's about learning. It is allowed to do things strictly because you enjoy doing them, with no ulterior motive.
