Still not exactly the same, since everyone needs recreation/downtime as part of their lives. The person who watches TV and movies and then blogs about them is doing that as part of their recreation time; the person who believes they have a spiritual calling from a higher power is acting on that as part of their "work time." So it's really not a useful comparison.

I disagree. Obviously the situations are not exactly the same, but if we are to measure "wasting time" in an objective way (if such a thing is even possible), then the person who is doing something to help society is clearly wasting less time then the person who is sitting down watching TV. I agree that relaxation is important, but there are ways to relax while still being productive (like knitting sweaters or blankets for the homeless, or growing a garden for your own food, for example).

Also, I question the implication that blogging is relaxing in nature. Yes, it could be (and should be), but certainly you have seen how intense, aggressive, and overly-invested people can be when it comes to fandom or tumblr or whatever. And too much technology use can have unhealthy results (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-volpi-md-pc-facs/technology-depression_b_1723625.html). Casual recreation is fine, but you know that there are people who spend hours upon hours on tumblr or facebook or watching internet videos. It can go beyond recreation and turn into an obsession. If I had to consider anything a "waste of life" (which I don't, since it implies a misguided sense of self-superiority and arrogance), I would be more inclined to use that person as an example instead of the nun.
