find amusement when the occasion arises
It's just a play. Occasionally, we go along with the social life.
This idiom comes from Shen Congwen's "eight steeds · counselor": "he looks like a real man, because he is the old subordinate of the teacher, and he usually plays tricks on the occasion, so he'll come here by boat this time of year."
