In my eyes we shouldn't stop people from doing anything. What we should do is encourage people to have a wider variety of hobbies and interest, of which gardening a few hours a week can be coupled with video games - or whatever they want to do to relax and unwind. Variety is the spice of life.

So we should try to stop people from being obsessed with one thing?

I think obsessiveness has its advantages at times; people often become savants at something they're truly passionate about. However, I don't think there's ever a situation where a person - despite their passion - can't be enriched by practicing something physically or intellectually different.
