Judging people as lazy doesn't serve any purpose. To be effective you have to move behind judgements like that. Everyone can do with his time whatever he wants.
That said the goal (at least mine) of personal development isn't to get less lazy, but to contribute in changing the world for the better.
If that results in other people judging me as less lazy that's okay.
If that results in me being happy that's okay too, but neither of those is the goal of the action.
You always have a choice to pick between different actions. You may choose to spent your time in front of the TV. That doesn't mean that you are a bad person, but it does mean that you are responsible for your own mental state of passiveness that results from watching too much TV.

Given this idea, I have not been able to find even one person who I can say would be just as happy doing something, as not doing something, they recieve a kind of therapy in not doing something that doing something robs them of.

You make a huge mistake when you assume that what people say that makes them happy actually makes them happy.
People are generally quite poor in prediction what makes them happier.

Sure, people there are people who watch mindless T.V all day, but are these people even able to work without the kind of stress relief that T.V provides?

In general television isn't a effective stress reliever.

Then there is the idea that people are simply not working "hard enough". I find this idea to be ridiculous also. They are not working at a pace considered adaequate probably because if they worked faster they would be "stressing" themselves

Hard work and fast work
is not the same thing.
