Some people believe that a hobby has to be difficult in order to be enjoyable. Do you agree or disagree?

Few of us think that the activities, which we do during our free time, has to be tough enough, so that we feel happy to do it. I strongly disagree with

 statement, since a hobby has

 easy for an individual to act as a stress buster and to become a regular routine. Our leisure hours should not be tiresome, so that we can enjoy those moments. The reason why I say so is, if hobbies turn out to be difficult tasks, requiring more efforts, it would start pressurizing us. When pressure holds you back, you can not enjoy the work you do. The best example to prove
this
 point is a play station. A recent survey says that, play stations result

This
 clearly proves that activities which do not require much effort only can turn out to be our hobbies. I would like to conclude by disagreeing with the statement, that our pastime should require tremendous efforts to keep us happy, since
such
 kind of tasks will only shoot up our stress levels and we would not like to consider doing it once again.
