I agree and it's one of the many misinterpretations of STS and one reason why I try not to focus upon STO and STS stuff. To be truly STS in your actions, it would mean that you are purposefully manipulating an other self in order to attain something for ones self. Simply doing something that brings one join when it may not necessarily benefit another isn't self serving to the point of STS because no harm was brought upon an other self. Even confederation members reiterated the need for those leisures that make one happy.
I think of it as a recharge of your light so to speak. When one basks in those joyous moments that brings a smile to ones face, they will no doubt radiate that light and love that was created by such a joyous experience.
