The antithesis of pathological drug dependent detachment from reality is engagement with the world in a constructive effective manner. This is what it takes to get control over your life. It involves understanding where you are, wanting a change, working toward the change and eventually getting there. Of course we don't expect to get everything our own way, but engagement in life and personal fulfillment depend on a reasonable hit rate. The enlightened hedonist will have a sense of purpose, for it is only in the context of a purpose that the value of an achievement can be realised.
Personal fulfillment involves effective pursuit of our own purposes.
In a milder way television, like many popular pastimes, is like a drug. It is a passive medium which provides a transient escape from the real world. It doesn't have to be that way, and for many it isn't. It can be a source of information and enlightenment which helps us to live our lives and get where we want to be. Even as mere entertainment it is more easily integrated into a positive lifestyle than the real narcotics.
