Living in a remote area does not by itself make a person morally rough if they remain connected with learning, worship, and good conduct. Likewise, a lawful pastime is different from becoming so absorbed in it that duties and family rights are neglected. The response غَفَلَ highlights heedlessness, not a condemnation of every leisure activity.
Example 1: Schedule recreation so that prayer and essential responsibilities are not displaced.
Example 2: Maintain access to trustworthy learning and sound company even in an isolated setting.
Environment can influence habits, but personal choices and safeguards still matter.
