You can say things like this to heroin addicts, but the first important thing is keeping them from leaving to get more heroin. After they're clean, they might find this sort of introspection to be a reasonable substitute.
That kinda thinking, the new "you're wasting your time on Facebook, go read a book" is just the old puritan "get to work loser". Literally, one of the oldest scripts in the docs to get you to work harder for the man. Damn him.
If you're brain is too tired to do anything but watch cartoons or play video games, or just fart around and not do anything, then that's your god-given right and you don't even have to be tired to do that.
Facebook gives us social connections and those are critical for humans. Far more important than reading a book or going for a walk.
